A Decentralized Directory Service for Peer-to-Peer- Based Telephony

چکیده
IP telephony has long been one of the most widely used applications of the peer-to-peer paradigm. Hardware phones with built-in peer-to-peer stacks are used to enable IP telephony in closed networks at large company sites, while the wide adoption of smart phones provides the infrastructure for software applications enabling ubiquitous Internet-scale IP-telephony. Decentralized peer-to-peer systems fit well as the underlying infrastructure for IP-telephony, as they provide the scalability for a large number of participants, and are able to handle the limited storage and bandwidth capabilities on the clients. We studied a commercial peer-to-peer-based decentralized communication platform supporting video communication, voice communication, instant messaging, et cetera. One of the requirements of the communication platform is the implementation of a user directory, allowing users to search for other participants. In this chapter, we present the Extended Prefix Hash Tree algorithm that enables the implementation of a user directory on top of the peer-to-peer communication platform in a fully decentralized way. We evaluate the performance of the algorithm with a real-world phone book. The results can be transferred to other scenarios where support for range queries is needed in combination with the decentralization, self-organization, and resilience of an underlying peer-to-peer infrastructure.

Content-Based Community Formation in Hybrid Peer-to-Peer Networks
We present a community formation method for improving IR performance in a distributed digital library network. Following the digital library literature, we model digital libraries as leaf nodes and regional directory services as ultrapeers in the hybrid P2P architectures. We conceptualize a regional directory service and its local network of digital libraries as a community, and introduce a com...
متن کاملService layer components for decentralized applications
While the concept of decentralization in distributed systems is relatively old, it has been drawing increased attention since the rise of peer-to-peer systems in 2000. A significant number of research results has been published, enabling self-organization, scalability, and resilience. However, the adoption of these results in industry is still limited. One reason is that there is no methodology...
متن کاملA 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 ...
متن کاملDynamic Web Service Calls for Data Integration
Web Services are considered as a dominant paradigm for constructing and composing distributed business application and enabling enterprise-wide interoperability. A peer to peer architecture provides a decentralized infrastructure in sync with the spirit of the web and that scales well to its size. In this paper, we present a framework enabling implicit i.e. dynamic service calls in data centric...
متن کاملPolicy Based Framework for Trust Management and Evolution of Peer to Peer Groups
Peer to peer collaborative groups are becoming increasingly popular for collaborative applications like video/audio conferencing, IP telephony, file sharing, collaborative work spaces, and multi-user games. The decentralized nature of these groups gives rise to the need of a secure group layer which integrates authentication, admission control, authorization, access control and key management. ...
