P2p System

A peer-to-peer (P2P) system refers to a distributed system in which the role played by each member is roughly equivalent, that is, a member both consumes and provides services to other members. Therefore, a member in such a system is often referred to as a peer. The primary design goal of P2P systems is to facilitate sharing of resources, including files, processing power, and network bandwidth.

P2p System

In recent years, peer-to-peer (P2P) systems have become a promising paradigm to provide efficient storage service in distributed environments. Although its effectiveness has been proven in many areas, the data consistency problem in P2P systems are still an opening issue. This article proposes a novel data consistence model, virtual peers-based data consistency (VPDC), which introduces a set of virtual peers to provide guaranteed data consistency in decentralized and unstructured P2P systems. The VPDC model can be easily implemented in any P2P system without introducing any interference to data retrieval. Theoretical analysis on VPDC is presented to analyze its effectiveness and efficiency, and massive experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of a VPDC model in a real-world P2P system. The results indicate that it can significantly improve the data consistence of P2P systems and outperform many similar approaches in various experimental settings.

Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are creating a large proportion of network traffic in today’s Internet. Peer-to-peer systems enable access to data spread over an extremely large number of machines. A P2P system typically involves thousands or millions of live peers in the network. Multi-dimensional data indexing has received much attention in a centralized database. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a multi-dimensional searching scheme in structured P2P networks. We present the design and implementation of a peer-to-peer index service for high dimensional data that is capable of handling complex queries. We design a VibIndex scheme in structured P2P overlay networks. We analyze this scheme’s performance and present simulation results. Our simulation results demonstrated the benefits of the proposed system and show that the approach is able to search efficiently.

P2p System

With the huge number of information sources available on the Internet and the high dynamics of their data, peer-to-peer (P2P) systems propose a communication model in which each party has the same capabilities and can initiate a communication session. These networks allow a group of computer users with the same networking program to connect with each other and directly access resources from one another. P2P architectures also provide a good infrastructure for data and computer intensive operations such as data mining. In this article we consider a new data mining approach for improving resource searching in a dynamic and distributed database such as an unstructured P2P system, that is, in Masseglia, Poncelet, and Teisseire (2006) we call this problem P2P usage analysis. More precisely we aim at discovering frequent behaviors among users of such a system. We will focus on the sequential order between actions performed on each node (requests or downloads) and show how this order has to be taken into account for extracting useful knowledge. For instance, it may be discovered, in a P2P file sharing network that for 77% of nodes from which a request is sent for “Mandriva Linux,” the file “Mandriva Linux 2005 CD1 i585-Limited- Edition-Mini.iso” is chosen and downloaded; then a new request is performed with the possible name of the remaining iso images (i.e., “Mandriva Linux 2005 Limited Edition”), and in the large number of returned results the image corresponding to “Mandriva Linux 2005 CD2 i585-Limited-Edition-Mini.iso” is chosen and downloaded. Such knowledge is very useful for proposing the user with often downloaded or requested files according to a majority of behaviors. It could also be useful in order to avoid extra bandwidth consumption, which is the main cost of P2P queries (Ng, Chu, Rao, Sripanidkulchai, & Zhang, 2003).

Simple Features

Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems represent nowadays a large portion of Internet traffic, and are fundamental data sources. In a pure P2P system, since no peer has the power or responsibility to monitor and restrain others behaviours, there is no method to verify the trustworthiness of shared resources, and malicious peers can spread untrustworthy data objects to the system. Furthermore, data descriptions are often simple features directly connected to data or annotations based on heterogeneous schemas, a fact that makes difficult to obtain a single coherent trust value on a resource. This chapter describes techniques where the combination of Semantic Web and peer-to-peer technologies is used for expressing the knowledge shared by peers in a well-defined and formal way. Finally, dealing with Semantic-based P2P networks, the chapter suggests a research effort in this direction, where the association between cluster-based overlay networks and reputation systems based on numerical approaches seems to be promising.

AbstractThe need for reputation assessment is particularly strong in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems because the peers’ personal site autonomy is amplified by the inherent technological decentralization of the environment. However, the decentralization notion makes the problem of designing a P2P-based reputation assessment substantially harder in P2P networks than in centralized settings. Existing reputation systems tackle the reputation assessment process in an ad hoc manner. There is no systematic and coherent way to derive measures and analyze the current reputation systems. In this paper, we propose a reputation assessment process and use it to classify the existing reputation systems. Simulation experiments are conducted and focused on the different methods in selecting the recommendation sources and collecting the recommendations. These two phases can contribute significantly to the overall performance owing to precision, recall, and communication cost.

Overlay Management

Structured peer-to-peer (P2P) lookup services organize peers into a flat overlay network and offer distributed hash table (DHT) functionality. Data is associated with keys and each peer is responsible for a subset of the keys. In hierarchical DHTs, peers are organized into groups, and each group has its autonomous intra-group overlay network and lookup service. Groups are organized in a top-level overlay network. To find a peer that is responsible for a key, the top-level overlay first determines the group responsible for the key; the responsible group then uses its intra-group overlay to determine the specific peer that is responsible for the key. We provide a general framework for hierarchical DHTs with scalable overlay management. We specifically study a two-tier hierarchy that uses Chord for the top level. Our analysis shows that by using the most reliable peers in the top level, the hierarchical design significantly reduces the expected number of hops. We also present a method to construct hierarchical DHTs that map well to the Internet topology and achieve short intra-group communication delay. The results demonstrate the feasibility of locality-based peer groups, which allow P2P systems to take full advantage of the hierarchical design.

And Storage

The peer-to-peer (p2p) systems have promising characteristics to the sharing of digital resources—digital contents, processing power, bandwidth, and storage—in a free and equal way, among the members in a community of equals (peers) (Androutsellis-Theotokis & Spinellis, 2004; Barkai, 2001; Fattah, 2002; Milojicic et al., 2002; Oram, 2001; Schoder, Fischbach, & Schmitt, 2005). A member of a community could decide when and what he wants to share, knowing that to obtain something of his interest, he should offer something in return, and that the success of his community depends in some way on his own contribution and participation. This property is very interesting in academic environments and very reaching and diversified in collaboration forms, expression ways, and formal or informal relationships.

Peer To Peer Systems

  Publish/ subscribe (pub/ sub) is a popular communication paradigm in the design of large-scale distributed systems. We are witnessing an increasingly widespread use of pub/ sub for a wide array of applications in industry, academia, financial data dissemination, business process management and does not end in social networking sites which takes a large area of user interests and used network bandwidth. Social network interactions have grown exponentially in recent years to the order of billions of notifications generated by millions of users every day. So, it has become very important to access in the field of publishing and subscription networks, especially peer-to-peer (P2P) networks in many ways like the publication speed for events And the percentage of loss in the incoming events of the participants. Peer-to-peer systems can be very large and include millions of nodes, those nodes join and leave the network continuously, and these characteristics are difficult to handle. The evaluation of a new protocol in a real environment, particularly in the early stages, was considered impractical. Hence the need for a simulator to perform such a function to facilitate the simulation of researchers and this emulator is an open source simulator running within the Eclipse environment. In this research we have adopted a new method of selecting nodes within the table of vicinity protocol. This method is concentrated in that the far node increases the probability of its inclusion in the table more than the adjacent node. and The proposed network that uses the Polder Cast protocol was modelled using PeerSim software for modelling deployment and subscription networks within the eclipse environment so that the event delivery service is a Peer-2-Peer network and the method used to register is subject-based (Topic-Based). experimental results showed noticeable improvement in the publication speed for events by 51.11% compared to the original design of the protocol. And The percentage of event loss was reduced by 20%.

This article addresses the ongoing, increasing privatization of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems – the emergence of systems that users may only join by personal, friend-to-friend invitation. It argues that, within P2P systems, privacy is increasingly coinciding with “mere” invisibility vis-à-vis the rest of the Internet ecosystem because of a trend that has shaped the recent history of P2P technology: The alternation between forms of pervasive surveillance of such systems, and reactions by developers and users to such restrictive measures. Yet, it also suggests that the richness of today’s landscape of P2P technology development and use, mainly in the field of Internet-based services, opens up new dimensions to the conceptualization of privacy, and may give room to a more articulate definition of the concept as related to P2P technology; one that includes not only the need of protection from external attacks, and the temporary outcomes of the competition between surveillance and counter-surveillance measures, but also issues such as user empowerment through better control over personal information, reconfiguration of data management practices, and removal of intermediaries in sharing and communication activities.
