An efficient search scheme using self-organizing hierarchical ring in unstructured peer-to-peer systems

Abstract

We propose an efficient search scheme based on a self-organizing hierarchical ring structure in unstructured peer-to-peer systems, Our solution maintains a consistent super-peer ratio and makes the peers with relatively high capacities super-peers in dynamic environments. The benchmarking results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the static algorithm that has the fixed number of rendezvous peers such as JXTA. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
