A scalable lookup service for P2P file sharing in MANET
Mehdi Asadi, Abolfazl Toroghi Haghighat, Bagher Zarei · 2007
Current P2P systems do not fit well into mobile environments where each node have to follow multi-hop path routing and have to face unpredictable mobility. If current P2P systems are deployed on the MANET, application layer and network layer both perform different routing mechanism independent of each other, resulting in multiple layer routing redundancy. Current ad-hoc network protocols do not fulfill the P2P requirements as basically they all are flooding based protocols. Here, we propose a new controlled-flooding based approach which works at network layer and helps P2P systems to work in mobile environment efficiently.
