Scalable peer-to-peer Web search using highly discriminative keys

Vinh Toan Luu

Standard general-purpose Web retrieval relies on centralized search engines that do not realistically scale when applied to the exponentially growing number of documents available on the Web. By taking advantage of the resource sharing principle, Peer-to-P ...

Gossip-Based Peer Sampling

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec

Gossip-based communication protocols are appealing in large-scale distributed applications such as information dissemination, aggregation, and overlay topology management. This paper factors out a fundamental mechanism at the heart of all these protocols: ...

Malicious Users in Unstructured Networks

Georgios Theodorakopoulos

Unstructured networks (like ad-hoc or peer-to-peer networks) are networks without centralized control of their operation. Users make local decisions regarding whether to follow the network protocol or not. While providing scalability benefits, this degrade ...

UniStore: Querying a DHT-based Universal Storage

Manfred Hauswirth, Roman Schmidt, Renault John Lecoultre, Jessica Müller

The idea of collecting and combining large public data sets and services became more and more popular. The special characteristics of such systems and the requirements of the participants demand for strictly decentralized solutions. However, this comes alo ...

Multilayer description of large scale communication networks

Sébastien Rumley, Christian Gaumier

Data exchanges between various modules and tools raise interfacing difficulties in a multilayer environment. This aspect may become particularly critical in a distributed context. ...

Authentication-free fault-tolerant peer-to-peer service provisioning

Karl Aberer, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

The correct functioning of a peer-to-peer network relies on cooperative behavior of peers as service providers. Current approaches to detection and deterrence of non-cooperative behavior, such as reputation systems, rely on (1) global sharing of observatio ...

Congestion Control for Distributed Hash Tables

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Karl Aberer, Fabius Klemm

Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) provide a scalable mechanism for mapping identifiers to socket addresses. As each peer in the network can initiate lookup requests, a DHT has to process concurrently a potentially very large number of requests. In this paper, ...

Mobility in wireless networks: friend or foe

Jun Luo

Wireless networking technologies allow computing devices to move while keeping them online, but the device mobility poses considerable technical challenges. Network designers, on the one hand, consider mobility to be harmful because it leads to dynamic and ...

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 ...

Node Cooperation in Hybrid Ad hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Naouel Ben Salem, Levente Buttyan

A hybrid ad hoc network is a structure-based network that is extended using multi-hop communications. Indeed, in this kind of network, the existence of a communication link between the mobile station and the base station is not required: A mobile station t ...
