Load Balancing Algorithm for Hierarchical P2P Networks
Qingguo Shen · 2011
Load imbalance restricts performance of P2P applications badly.Previous researches solve P2P load imba-lance focusing on flat DHT(Distributed Hashing Table) based networks.Recently,hierarchical topologies get more attention for many inherent merits.In this paper,a load balancing algorithm was proposed by merging advantages of vir-tual server and hierarchical technology.Simulation results show that our algorithm can ensure fair load distribution on heterogeneous nodes.
