Data management (data retrieval and processing) performance in large-scale distributed systems (e.g. Grids, distributed databases, content delivery networks) is directly dependent on the efficiency and reliability of the communication architecture. The communication layer is responsible for transferring data between multiple source-destination pairs or for gathering the data from multiple sources to the processing nodes. In this paper we propose a peer-to-peer communication architecture for optimizing the efficiency, load balancing and reliability of the data transfers in the system, making local decisions only. We also present simulation-based experimental evaluation results.
