Load balancing is the process of improving the performance of a peer to peer networks through a redistribution of load among the processors. In this paper we present the performance analysis of various load balancing algorithms based on different parameters, considering two typical load balancing approaches static and dynamic. The analysis indicates that static and dynamic both types of algorit...

Peer-to-peer networks have emerged as a popular alternative to traditional client-server architectures for the distribution of information goods. Recent academic studies have observed high levels of free-riding in various peer-to-peer networks, leading some to suggest the imminent collapse of these communities as a viable information sharing mechanism. Our research develops an analytic model to...

This paper describes an enhancement of content access Quality of Service in peer to peer (P2P) networks. The main idea is to use an erasure code to distribute the information over the peers. This distribution increases the users’ choice on disseminated encoded data and therefore statistically enhances the overall throughput of the transfer. A performance evaluation based on an original model us...

The Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing has been one of the emerging technologies in distributed file sharing. Experimental studies show that for a file download, service capacity fluctuation takes minutes to several hours. For a P2P one of the fundamental performances metric is the average download time. The common approach to analyse the average download time is average service capacity. Heterogenei...

Today, a large part of the traffic carried by the Internet is generated by file-sharing applications based on the P2P paradigm. Moreover, P2P traffic has particular features, quite different from the ones generated by "classical" data applications, and generally causes highly dynamic and distributed traffic matrixes that heavily stress network infrastructures. With this respect, it is reasonabl...

Introduction: One of notable initiatives in improving the academic educationis to use the abilities of students to learn together in a new and effective system of peer learning. In this regard, Education Development Center in Shiraz university of Medical Sciences proceed to implementation and study of the curriculum and teaching methods course in the form of peer learning for college students o...
