Scalable Supernode Selection in Peer-to-Peer Overlay Networks

Optimal Super-peer Selection for Large-scale P2P System

“…Standard networking techniques such as random selection of peers, or flooding-based search for suitable SP have significant drawbacks. SPs selected by a random strategy may not be the best and flooding-based searches for a large number of SP neither scales nor adapts well to dynamic changes in network [18]. Therefore, when the OP selects the SP, we must consider how well the SP can deal with queries to provide OP's requested files as accurately and quickly as possible.…”

“…Although this technique is simple, it does not deal well with the heterogeneity of the participating peers both in terms of dynamic capabilities and a content similarity [15]. The SP selection problem is highly challenging because, in the P2P network, a large number of SP must be selected from a huge and dynamically changing network in which neither the peer's characteristics nor the network topology are known a prior [18]. Since the original purpose of super-peer based P2P systems was to improve performance, we should consider search efficiency and network performance in the design of the system.…”

Delaunay State Management for Large-Scale Networked Virtual Environments

“…Although we might try to find the more trustworthy users to take the manager roles [9,14], there is still no guarantee that malicious acts would never occur. So besides identifying trustworthy clients, safety measures must still be taken in case of malicious behaviors.…”

Neighbor Selection in Peer-to-Peer Overlay Networks: A Swarm Intelligence Approach

“…In some session, the state of distributed file fragments is as follows: We also tested other three representative instances (problem (25,1400,12), problem (30,1400,15), problem (35,1400,17) and problem (100,1400,20)) further. In our experiments, the algorithms used for comparison were mainly SPSO (standard PSO) ( [55]) and GA (Genetic Algorithm) ( [70]).…”

“…Lo et al [25] defined the supernode selection problem which has emerged across a variety of peer-to-peer applications. Supernode selection involves se-lection of a subset of the peers to serve a special role.…”
