Churn-Resilient Replication Strategy for Peer-to-Peer
Distributed Hash-Tables.
Abstract:
DHT-based P2P
systems provide a fault-tolerant and scalable mean to store
data-blocks in a fully distributed way. Unfortunately, recent
studies have shown that if connection/disconnection frequency
is too high in the system, data-blocks may be lost. This is
true for most current DHT-based system's implementations. To
avoid this problem, it is necessary to build really efficient
replication and maintenance mechanisms. In this paper, we study
the effect of churn on an existing DHT-based P2P system, namely
PAST/Pastry.
