Methods for Flexible Content Repository Functions in Structured Peer–to–Peer Overlays
Udo Bartlang · Vieweg+Teubner eBooks · 2010
Structured peer–to–peer (P2P) overlays provide the support to route messages on top of physical networks in coordinated manner. In addition, these overlays enable strategies to partition a system’s data load among available peers using the concept of consistent hashing. However, to benefit the implementation of flexible content repository functions (see Chapter 3 and Chapter 4) a generic method to enable reliable but consistent data management in structured P2P overlays is required. Chapter 2 determined this gap in P2P research.
