Research on load balancing algorithm in a P2P system based on DHT
Gan Zhou · Microcomputer Information · 2010
Nowadays, more and more applications based on P2P have been used in our life. In order to improve the scalability of P2P networks and provide more efficient and rapid look-up or download service, P2P technology has been converted from unstructured topology to structured topology. In the structured topology, a distributed hash table (DHT) has been used to organize the network. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for load balancing based on DHT. The algorithm provides a simple and efficient way to realize load balancing in a DHT system. Finally, we show our algorithm has good performance through some tests.
