Abstract

This paper proposes a new scheme for p2p networks. The main contributions are an extensive use of randomization techniques and a novel usage of tree-data structure. The combination of these two ingredients allows a great flexibility of network parameters, such as: load balance among the peers, fast lookups and reduced memory usage. For instance, with routing tables of size (d - 1) log d n, the average number of hops for a lookup is of the order of 1/d ((d - 1) logd n + 1), where n is the number of peers in the network and d is the ariety of the tree data structure. Further, we propose a few new optimization mechanisms that can be adopted in DHT. Extensive simulations support these results. © 2005 IEEE.
