Query Processing in Containers Hosting Virtual Peer-to-Peer Nodes.
Wolfgang Hoschek · 2002
In a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network, a link topology such as a ring, tree or graph describes the link structure among autonomous nodes. A node deployment model defines where and how one or more partitions of the link topology are physically running, stored and accessed. Link topology and node deployment are distinct and orthogonal concepts, and hence a node deployment model need not correspond to a link topology at all. The simplest (and most common) deployment model has distinct nodes running on distinct hosts.
