RelaxDHT: a churn-resilient replication strategy for
peer-to-peer distributed hash-tables.
Résumé:
DHT-based P2P systems provide a fault-tolerant and scalable means
to store data blocks in a
fully distributed way. Unfortunately, recent studies have shown that
if connection/disconnection
frequency is too high, data blocks may be lost. This is true for most
of the current DHT-based
system's implementations. To deal with this problem, it is necessary
to build more efficient
replication and maintenance mechanisms. In this paper, we study the
eect of churn on PAST,
an existing DHT-based P2P system. We then propose solutions to enhance
churn tolerance and
evaluate them through discrete event simulation.
