چکیده

Peer-to-peer systems have recently introduced the notion of super-peers to improve search performance. While the benefit to end users is clear, it is not immediately evident who, if anyone, would be motivated to act as a super-peer. On the face of it, super-peers bear a much larger traffic burden than normal peers and receive negligible improvement in search performance when compared to any of the nodes they serve. In this paper we present incentives for several actors to deploy super-peers and propose a novel technical mechanism, topic-based search optimization, to increase the effectiveness of super-peers. By caching meta data— as opposed to content—at super-peers, topic-based search optimization has the potential to significantly improve the perceived search performance of a super-peer’s clients with very modest storage and communication overhead at the super-peer itself.

A Genetic Programming-based trust model for P2P Networks

Abstract— Peer-to-Peer ( P2P ) systems have been the center of attention in recent years due to their advantage . Since each node in such networks can act both as a service provider and as a client , they are subject to different attacks . Therefore it is vital to manage confidence for these vulnerable environments in order to eliminate unsafe peers . This paper investigates the use of genetic ...

Semantic Overlay Clusters within Super-Peer Networks

When joining information provider peers to a peer-to-peer network, an arbitrary distribution is sub-optimal. In fact, clustering peers by their characteristics, enhances search and integration significantly. Currently super-peer networks, such as the Edutella network, provide no sophisticated means for such a ”semantic clustering” of peers. We introduce the concept of semantic overlay clusters ...

Analysis of Peer-to-peer Service Provider in Queuing Networks

In this paper, we anatomize incentive structures in peer assisted services with multiple content providers and focus on stability issues from two different angles: stability at equilibrium of Shapley value and convergence to the equilibrium. We first define a coalition game in a peer assisted service with multiple content providers by classifying the types of coalition structures as separated, ...

A Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory

The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...
