In designing structured P2P networks, scalability, resilience, and load balancing are features that are needed to be handled meticulously. The P2P overlay has to handle large scale of nodes while maintaining minimized path lengths in performing lookups. It has also to be resilient to nodes’ failure and be able to distribute the load uniformly over its participant. In this paper, we introduce SH...

State-of-the-art approaches for the detection of peer-topeer (P2P) botnets are on the one hand mostly local and on the other hand tailored to specific botnets involving a great amount of human time, effort, skill and creativity. Enhancing or even replacing this labor-intensive process with automated and, if possible, local network monitoring tools is clearly extremely desirable. To investigate ...

Peer 2 Peer over MANETs is the largely popular used pattern of file sharing within MANETs. P2P system is started in the middle of 1990s. P2P system is deployed on the Internet which is formed by creating an overlay network. P2P overlay consists of upper-layer connections among nodes, or peers, which are selfdetermining of the underlay or substrate network, abstract peer’s view of the connection...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) live streaming over mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a state-of-theart technique for wireless multimedia applications, such as entertainments and disaster recovery. The peers share the live streaming over MANET via multi-hop wireless link, so an efficient data delivery scheme must be required. However, the high churn rate and the frequent mobility baffle the P2P membership ma...

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are widely used for data sharing applications in an autonomous and decentralized mode. P2P systems are suitable for largescale distributed environments in which nodes can share resources other than data such as computing power, memory and network bandwidth. Some of important parameters that affect the performance of P2P systems are peer availability, data availability...

In order to ease the development and maintenance of more complex P2P applications, which combine multiple P2P functionality (e.g. streaming and dependable storage), we suggest to extend structured P2P systems with a dedicated information management layer. This layer is meant to generate statistics on the whole P2P system and to enable capacity-based peer search, which helps the individual funct...

During the last few years, the topic of peer-to-peer networking (P2P hereafter) has gained significant attention from the research community. The focus has mainly been on the design, implementation and evaluation of systems based on Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), as these structures have potential to become a general purpose substrate for distributed applications. Nonetheless, there are still ...

Content location in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is a challenging problem. In this paper, the authors present a novel Interest-based Small World (ISW) network to address the problem, by constructing a cluster overlay in the unstructured P2P network based on the small world paradigm and user interest. There are many attractive properties of a small world network, such as low average ...

This paper proposes and evaluates different protocols for individual peers to self-configure the P2P overlay networks in various network environments. For smallscale homogeneous networks, an optimizer peer selection protocol is proposed and found to be superior to other peer selection protocols, including random, egoist, altruist and greedy protocols, in terms of network diameter and node eccen...

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) overlay networks have recently gained significant attention in the research community. P2P applications, especially the ones using BitTorrent protocol, often require communication among a large number of peers and thus are particularly challenging to test in a controlled manner, because of the volatility of overlay-network structure with peers going on and off. This paper add...
