ICN: interest-based clustering network
Xiaole Bai, Shuping Liu, Peng Zhang, Raimo Kantola · International Conference on Peer-to-Peer Computing · 2004
An interest-based clustering peer-to-peer network (ICN) architecture is introduced in this paper. ICN uses a lot of Freenet mechanisms and is based on cache management. ICN is self-organizing, fully distributed, scalable, and logically hierarchical. In ICN, the upper level is bound by de Bruijn graph. Nodes in the lower level self-cluster based on interest. Through analysis and simulation, ICN shows good fault-tolerance, efficient data retrieval and resource usage as well as low overhead traffic.
