Effective Topology-aware Peer Selection in Unstructured Peer-to-peer Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Peer-to-Peer systems form logical overlay networks on top of the Internet. Essentially, peers randomly choose logical neighbours without any knowledge about underlying physical topology. This may cause inefficient communications among peers. This topology mismatch problem may result in poor performance and scalability for Peer-to-Peer systems. A possible way to improve the performance of Peer-to-Peer systems is the overlay network construction based on the knowledge of the physical network topology. In this paper, we will propose the use of the “Record Route” and “Timestamp” options supported in the IP protocol to explore the paths between peers. By the topology-aware peer selection, our approach outperforms traditional P2P systems using random peer selection. Our approach only incurs a low overhead and can be deployed easily in various P2P systems.

TAC: A Topology-Aware Chord-based Peer-to-Peer Network
Among structured Peer-to-Peer systems, Chord has a general popularity due to its salient features like simplicity, high scalability, small path length with respect to network size, and flexibility on node join and departure. However, Chord doesn’t take into account the topology of underlying physical network when a new node is being added to the system, thus resulting in high routing late...

The primary properties of the existing large scale peer-to-peer system include very high heterogeneity and dynamic nature of the participating peers in the network. Properties of peers such as peer session length, accessible bandwidth, storage space are highly varied with small set of peers controlling large part of the total system resources which results in low performance of the system. The ...
متن کاملSupporting Peer-to-Peer Computing with FlexiNet
Formation of suitable overlay-network topologies that are able to reflect the structure of the underlying network-infrastructure, has rarely been addressed by peer-to-peer applications so far. Often, peer-to-peer protocols restrain to purely random formation of their overlay-network. This leads to a far from optimal performance of such peer-to-peer networks and ruthlessly wastes network resourc...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems such as Gnutella have been widely acknowledged as the fastest growing Internet applications ever. The P2P model has many potential advantages including high flexibility and server-less management. However, these systems suffer from the well-known performance mismatch between the randomly constructed overlay network topology and the underlying IP-layer top...
