Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is a networking and distributed computing paradigm which allows the sharing of computing resources and services by direct, symmetric interaction between computers. With the advance in mobile wireless communication technology and the increasing number of mobile users, peer-to-peer computing, in both academic research and industrial development, has recently begun to ...

How would you like to share files with another user without having to explicitly place them in a designated external location? The recent successes of (and controversies surrounding) Napster, Gnutella, and FreeNet have drawn attention to peer-to-peer computing, which allows precisely such interactions between information and service providers and their customers. Let’s take a brief look at peer...

Recently there has been significant research focus on distributed computing network massively caching and replica placement problems for content distribution in globally. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network provides dynamically decentralized, self organized, scalable objects in distributed computing system. However such networks suffer from high latency, network traffic and cache update problems. The ex...

Many believe Peer-to-peer (P2P) emerges as a computing paradigm of the future. There is an ever-increasing need for distributed algorithm that would allow P2P applications to scale to a large network of individual servers. Applications such as video streaming or media on-demand have incredibility large bandwidth requirements and bandwidth scalability of P2P can provide the P2P users with unlimi...

content discovery is one of the fundamental issues that determines the architecture and performance of content distribution networks based on peer-to-peer (p2p) networks. to administrate the costs and discoveries, peers of a p2p network communicate with each other by one or more overlay layers. the condition of node’s relations in overlay networks, have a great impact in efficiency of networks....

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) computing has emerged as a significant paradigm for providing distributed services, in particular search and data sharing. Current P2P networks (e.g., Gnutella) are constructed by participants following their own uncoordinated (and often whimsical) protocols; they consequently suffer from frequent network overload and partitioning into disconnected pieces separated by choke p...

Despite the leaps and bounds made by the P2P research field in the last few years, the benefit of this innovation has been constrained to a few areas; search and file-sharing and storage to name a few. In particular, this innovation has had little significant impact in the field of distributed computing. There are several obstacles to be overcome in the development of any distributed computer, ...
