Reducing upload and Download Time on Cloud using Content Distribution Algorithm

Abstract

Cloud computing is a term, which involves virtualization, distributed computing, networking, software and web services. Cloud services provide resources efficiently based on demand. Central of these lies in the establishment of an effective algorithm to Achieve minimum distribution time (MDT). Achieving MDT is crucial for bulk-synchronous applications, when every client in the set to finish their download before being able to make use of the downloaded content. In this paper, we propose the use of dedicated Servers to accelerate peer - assisted content distribution using content distribution algorithm. Downloading time is reduced using BitTorrent application and Steiner tree algorithm. BitTorrent , a popular Peer-to -Peer file sharing protocol for mass distributions. Steiner tree algorithm, a star based protocol to effectively reduce the distribution time.
