Fault-tolerance and lookup consistency are considered crucial properties for building applications on top of structured overlay networks. Many of these networks use the ring topology for the organization or their peers. The network must handle multiple joins, leaves and failures of peers while keeping the connection between every pair of successor-predecessor correct. This property makes the maintenance of the ring very costly and temporarily impossible to achieve, requiring periodic stabilization for fixing the ring. We introduce the relaxed-ring topology that does not rely on a perfect successor-predecessor relationship and it does not need a any periodic maintenance. Leaves and failures are considered as the same type of event providing a fault-tolerant and self-organizing maintenance of the ring. Relaxed-ring's limitations with respect to failure handling are formally identified, providing strong guarantees to develop applications on top of the architecture. Besides permanent failures, the paper analyses temporary failures and false suspicions caused by broken links, which are often ignored.

The architecture of P2P file-sharing applications has been developing to meet the needs of large scale demands. The structured overlay network, also known as DHT, has been used in these applications to improve the scalability, and robustness of the system, and to make it free from single-point failure. We believe that the measurement study of the overlay network used in the real file-sharing P2P systems can provide guidance for the designing of such systems, and improve the performance of the system. In this paper, we perform the measurement in two different aspects. First, a modified client is designed to provide view to the overlay network from a single-user vision. Second, the instances of crawler programs deployed in many nodes managed to crawl the user information of the overlay network as much as possible. We also find a vulnerability in the overlay network, combined with the character of the DNS service, a more serious DDoS attack can be launched.
