Peer-to-Peer Applications Beyond File Sharing: Overlay Network Requirements and Solutions

In this paper we analyze the functional and non-functional requirements of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems that go beyond the needs of the well explored file-sharing P2P systems. Four basic subcategories are suggested to classify the non-functional requirements ...

Self-organizing structured peer-to-peer overlay networks

A peer-to-peer overlay network is a logical network, built on top of a physical network. In contrast to classical client-server distributed architectures, peer-to-peer overlay networks allow location of resources without centralized control. Existing overl ...

Beyond term indexing: A P2P framework for Web information retrieval

Karl Aberer, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar, Fabius Klemm

Web search over peer-to-peer (P2P) networks shows promise to become an alternative to the state-of-the-art search engines since P2P overlays offer means for decentralized search across widely-distributed document collections. However, the design of effecti ...

Semantic Overlay Networks

Karl Aberer, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux

In a handful of years only, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have become an integral part of the Internet. After a few key successes related to music-sharing (e.g., Napster or Gnutella), they rapidly developed and are nowadays firmly established in various conte ...

Denial-of-service resilience in peer-to-peer file sharing systems

Willy Zwaenepoel, Dan Mihai Dumitriu

Peer-to-peer (p2p) file sharing systems are characterized by highly replicated content distributed among nodes with enormous aggregate resources for storage and communication. These properties alone are not sufficient, however, to render p2p networks immun ...

Indexing data-oriented overlay networks

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Anwitaman Datta, Roman Schmidt

We address the problem of how a data-oriented, structured overlay networks can be constructed efficiently from scratch in a self-organized way, a problem that has so far not been addressed in the literature. This problem occurs when using overlay networks ...

GridVine: Building Internet-Scale Semantic Overlay Networks

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux, Tim van Pelt

This paper addresses the problem of building scalable semantic overlay networks. Our approach follows the principle of data independence by separating a logical layer, the semantic overlay for managing and mapping data and metadata schemas, from a physical ...

Closing the gap in the capacity of random wireless networks

Patrick Thiran, Olivier Dousse

We consider the problem of how throughput in a wireless network with randomly located nodes scales as the number of users grows. Following the physical model of Gupta and Kumar, we show that randomly scattered nodes can achieve the optimal 1/sqrt(n) per-no ...

Self-organized construction of distributed access structures: A comparative evaluation of P-Grid and FreeNet

Karl Aberer, Manfred Hauswirth

This paper provides a quantative comparison of the efficiency of the self-organized construction processes of the P-Grid and FreeNet peer-to-peer systems. Starting from a defined, realistic network topology we simulate the construction of their access stru ...

Network topology aware scheduling of collective communications

Roger Hersch, Emin Gabrielyan

A method is proposed for the optimal scheduling of collective data exchanges relying on the knowledge of the underlying network topology. The concept of liquid schedules is introduced. Liquid schedules ensure the maximal utilization of a network's bottlene ...
