Abstract(in English) In recent years, various distributed applications such as file sharing systems, online games, and multicast streamings are widely used. Some of distributed applications need to equalize their performance to every participant. For example, from the viewpoint of user experience, it is preferable for distributed file system to provide a steady throughput wherever the client are connecting to the server. Also, in online games, synchronization between players is one of important factors for smooth progress of the game, therefore equalization of delays among joining players is important. However, there is no generalized method to selecting the best node for equalization of network metrics whose importance are different according to applications. In this paper, we propose a server selection method for equalizing various performances in distributed systems. Our approach is based on surveying techniques especially trilateration. As an example of equalization, we evaluate the proposed method in the case of equalization of RTTs, and show our method can reduce around 50% of performance difference compared to random server selection cases.
