Peer-to-Peer (P2P) is a fully distributed communication model in which parties (aka peers) have equivalent functional capabilities in providing each other with data and services. Because they are totally autonomous, peers are independent of other peers in which data they store, in which other peers they interoperate with, and in how they process peers’ service requests. While the cost of partic...

Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. Such mapping for data distribution has an inherent load balance problem. Thus, a load balancing mechanism is an indispensable part of a structured P2P overlay network for high performance. The rapid development of P2P systems has posed challeng...

A iming to ease the problems associated with making a variety of items available to multiple users over the Internet, peer-to-peer (P2P) systems create fully decentralized systems. By involving lots of peers, computational and storage capabilities increase; moreover, data replication, caching, and efficient query routing enhance overall performance. P2P systems can reduce complexity because eac...

Second generation peer-to-peer systems [5, 6] have shown a lot of promise with many desirable properties such as scalability, self-configuration, automatic load balancing etc. However the open nature of these systems also makes them vulnerable to Byzantine attacks. These systems are designed to be fault tolerant in the presence of a few malicious nodes. We however believe that even a handful of...

As IP addresses have become a scarce resource most computers on the Internet no longer have permanent addresses. For client computers this is usually not a big problem but with the advent of P2P systems, where every computer acts both as a client and as a server, this has become increasingly problematic. In advanced P2P systems ad-hoc connections to peers have to be established, which can only ...

The future of peer-to-peer file-sharing and related technologies is entwined, for better or worse, with copyright law. This paper aims to present a layperson's introduction to the copyright law principles most pertinent to peer-to-peer developers, including contributory and vicarious liability principles and potential legal defenses. After describing the current shape of the law, the paper conc...

Peer to peer systems are frequently incurred more expense in terms of efficiency transfer and several systems make an effort to cover the uniqueness privacy considerations issues for their users. An anonymity approach mostly existing path base peer before transmits, it has pre-create an anonymous path. An information as well as maintenance transparency of path is a lot high. We proposed mutual ...

Large-scale distributed applications are becoming more and more demanding in terms of efficiency and flexibility of the technological infrastructure, for which traditional solutions based on the client/server paradigm are not suitable. The peer-to-peer paradigm provides an appealing solution to this problem, allowing to deploy robust networks of collectors, providers and consumers of resources....
