In a structured P2P system, peers maintain information about what resources neighbor peers offer. Chord is one of well-known structured P2P systems to efficiently support resource finding based on the hashing approach. However, in Chord, most of data keys may be assigned to the same peer, since it uses the static hashing scheme, resulting in the case that the load of Chord is unbalanced. Therefore, we propose a strategy which uses the dynamic hashing scheme to locate the data key based on the Chord architecture, and to maintain the load balance. From our simulation results, we show that the load of the P2P system based on our strategy is much more balanced than that based on the original strategy used in Chord.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
