BBUFs: A New Lookup Mechanism Based on IPV6
Dan Cojocar · 2008
BBUFs (Babes Bolyai university file system) is a peer to peer distributed file system with a new lookup mechanism. The file system is designed for ordinary Unix machines that are IPv6 capable. In this paper we propose a new lookup mechanism based on IPv6, and its newly defined addressing scheme called "anycast address". The advantages and disadvantages of this approach are also discussed.
