A Super-Peer Selection Strategy for Peer-to-Peer Systems

A P2P system based on super-peer overlay shows good features of combining both advantages of hybrid and pure P2P systems. Most P2P applications being developed are based on the overlay networks composed of super-peers. Super-peer is a special peer acting as a server to a cluster of client peers. Selecting super-peers and constructing a super-peer overlay for clustering client peers are important issues. In this paper, we propose a simple scheme of selecting super-peers which is based on the inter-peer distance, because it can improve the performance such as contents delivery time. This can also be applied to construct a super-peer overlay
