Modeling of Epidemic Diffusion in Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing Networks

چکیده
In this paper we propose an analytical model for file diffusion in a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing network based on biological epidemics. During the downloading process, the peer shares the downloaded parts of the file and, thus, contributes to distributing it in the network. This behavior is similar to the spreading of epidemic diseases which is a well researched subject in mathematical biology. Unlike other P2P models based on epidemics, we show that steady state assumptions are not sufficient and that the granularity of the diffusion model may be appropriately selected.

متن کاملP2P Network Trust Management Survey
Peer-to-peer applications (P2P) are no longer limited to home users, and start being accepted in academic and corporate environments. While file sharing and instant messaging applications are the most traditional examples, they are no longer the only ones benefiting from the potential advantages of P2P networks. For example, network file storage, data transmission, distributed computing, and co...

متن کاملPredicting the Impact of Measures Against Unauthorized Downloads on the Transient Behaviors of P2P Networks
This work has two objectives. The first is to study rigorously the transient behavior of some P2P networks where information is replicated and disseminated according to an epidemic type dynamics. The second is to use the insight gained in order to predict how efficient are the measures taken against peer to peer networks. Two abstract models are considered to describe the P2P file sharing based...
متن کاملDynamic and Decentralized Storage Load Balancing with Analogy to Thermal Diffusion for P2P File Sharing
In this paper we propose a file replication scheme inspired by a thermal diffusion phenomenon for storage load balancing in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks. The proposed scheme is designed such that the storage utilization ratios of peers will be uniform, in the same way that the temperature in a field becomes uniform in a thermal diffusion phenomenon. The proposed scheme ...
