A Novel Search Technique in Peer-to-Peer Networks
Md. Sabbir Ahmed, Kyoji Kawagoe · 2007
Sufficient uptime is the main concern in a distributed system where there is no centralized organization and control. Therefore searching in P2P file sharing systems is still a big problem due to the high churn rate of nodes. To find a particular piece of data within the network P2P systems explicitly or implicitly provide a lookup mechanism, which largely depends on the availability of nodes. In this paper we propose a stable node based ranking technique by detecting reliable nodes with adequate uptime by nature to ensure efficient searching and un-interruption during the data receiving. We have simulated an unstructured file-sharing environment to evaluate our proposed technique. Keyword Peer-to-Peer systems, Information retrieval, Searching, Node ranking, Overlay network
