Popularity-Biased Random Walks for Peer-to-Peer Search under the Square-Root Principle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The square-root principle is known to achieve low search time for peer-to-peer search techniques that do not utilize query routing indices (e.g., query flooding or random walk searches). Under this principle, each object is probed with probability proportional to the square root of its query popularity. Existing search methods realize the square-root principle by using either object replication or topology reconstruction, which may not be desirable for those applications with large, dynamic datasets and limited network bandwidth. We propose a new approach that uses popularity-biased random walks to achieve the square-root principle. With the guidance of the Metropolis algorithm, each step of the random walks is determined based on the content popularities of current neighbors. Compared to previous methods, our approach has comparable search performance at no cost of data movement or topology changes.

An Optimal Overlay Topology for Routing Peer-to-Peer Searches
Unstructured peer-to-peer networks are frequently used as the overlay in various middleware toolkits for emerging applications, from content discovery to query result caching to distributed collaboration. Often it is assumed that unstructured networks will form a power-law topology; however, a power-law structure is not the best topology for an unstructured network. In this paper, we introduce ...
متن کاملA 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...

متن کاملDoubly Stochastic Converge: Uniform Sampling for Directed P2P Networks
Uniformly sampling nodes from deployed peer-to-peer (P2P) networks has proven to be a difficult problem, as current techniques suffer from sample bias and limited applicability. A sampling service which randomly samples nodes from a uniform distribution across all members of a network offers a platform on which it is easy to construct unstructured search, data replication, and monitoring algori...
متن کاملSearching method through biased random walks on complex networks.
Information search is closely related to the first-passage property of diffusing particle. The physical properties of diffusing particle is affected by the topological structure of the underlying network. Thus, the interplay between dynamical process and network topology is important to study information search on complex networks. Designing an efficient method has been one of main interests in...
