Unstructured overlay networks are driven by simple protocols that are easy to analyze and implement. The lack of structure, however, leads to weak message delivery guarantees and poor scaling. Structured overlays impose a global overlay topology that is th ...
There have been many proposals for constructing routing tables for Distributed Hash Tables (DHT). They can be classified into two groups: A) those that assume that the peers are uniformly randomly distributed in the identifier space, and B) those that allo ...
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, ...
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 ...
Structured P2P systems based on distributed hash tables are a popular choice for building large-scaled data management systems. Generally, they only support exact match queries, but data heterogeneities often demand for more complex query types, particular ...
Large-scale networked systems often, both by design or chance exhibit self-organizing properties. Understanding self-organization using tools from cybernetics, particularly modeling them as Markov processes is a first step towards a formal framework which ...
