We propose a Cache Shadowing mechanism where leaves store a checksum of their parent's parent. If a grandparent exists, the leaf bypasses the dead trunk and connects horizontally to a sibling trunk using the cross-edges defined in Algorithm 1. 6. Conclusion The IDLIX Tree provides a pragmatic middle-ground between rigid tree structures (low overhead, high fragility) and chaotic mesh networks (high overhead, high resilience). By restricting dynamic rerouting to the Trunk level and using sibling backup edges, this architecture is highly suitable for "Idlix-style" semi-decentralized streaming services where server costs must be minimized without sacrificing user experience. idlix tree

The IDLIX Tree reduced root load by 79% compared to pure P2P because the Trunk nodes absorbed the majority of segment requests. While efficient, the IDLIX Tree suffers from "Branch Decay." If a Trunk node (high tier) disconnects abruptly, all its leaves (the subtree) must re-run the Grafting Algorithm simultaneously. This creates a "thundering herd" problem. | Metric | Pure P2P (Flooding) | Centralized
