In this paper, we introduce a hybrid approach for overlay construction in an application-layer multicast and its application to a distributed data center management. We combine the good features of a tree-based structure and a mesh-based data delivery to form ToMo, a two-layer hybrid overlay. Different from other approaches, the overlay is constructed in the fashion of a mesh layer over a tree layer. This structure helps to reduce the number of replicated packets at a source by allocating the source to multicast each packet to a specific group of child peers only. We also consider a simple application of our overlay structure to the failover for data centers. That is, the servers of distributed data centers are connected by a mesh, and the clients are hanging on the servers in a tree structure. Upon failure, the server can be switched over to a redundant server follows the defined mesh routes automatically. Simulations through ns2 demonstrate the efficiency of this solution.
