This paper seeks to address the question of designing distributed algorithms for the setting of compact memory i.e. sublinear bits working memory for arbitrary connected networks. The nodes in our networks may have much lower internal…

This paper presents a self-organizing protocol for dynamic (unstructured P2P) overlay networks, which allows to react to the variability of node arrivals and departures. Through local interactions, the protocol avoids that the departure of…

We present a system for streaming live entertainment content over the Internet originating from a single source to a scalable number of consumers without resorting to centralised or provider- provisioned resources. The system creates a…

To design peer-to-peer (P2P) software systems is a challenging task, because of their highly decentralized nature, which may cause unexpected emergent global behaviors. The last fifteen years have seen many P2P applications to come out and…

This paper proposes an analytical framework for peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and introduces schemes for building P2P networks to approach the minimum weighted average download time (WADT). In the considered P2P framework, the server, which…

In Application layer multicast (ALM) also called Overlay Multicast, multicast-related functionalities are moved to end-hosts. The key advantages, overlays offers, are flexibility, adaptability and ease of deployment [1]. Application layer…

Blockchains use peer-to-peer networks for disseminating information among peers, but these networks currently do not have any provable guarantees for desirable properties such as Byzantine fault tolerance, good connectivity and small…

Most of the existing P2P content distribution schemes implement a random or rarest piece first dissemination procedure to avoid duplicate transmission of the same pieces of data and rare pieces of data occurring in the network. This problem…

Peer to peer (P2P) systems are moving from application specific architectures to a generic service oriented design philosophy. This raises interesting problems in connection with providing useful P2P middleware services that are capable of…

Offering an architecture for social networking in which people have agency over their personal information and social graph is an open challenge. Here we present a grassroots architecture for serverless, permissionless, peer-to-peer social…

The use of under-utilized Internet resources is widely recognized as a viable form of high performance computing. Sustained processing power of roughly 40T FLOPS using 4 million volunteered Internet hosts has been reported for…

In this paper, we conduct extensive simulations to understand the properties of the overlay generated by BitTorrent. We start by analyzing how the overlay properties impact the efficiency of BitTorrent. We focus on the average peer set size…

Broadcasting systems such as P2P streaming systems represent important network applications that support up to millions of online users. An efficient broadcasting mechanism is at the core of the system design. Despite substantial efforts on…

Use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) service networks introduces a new communication paradigm because peers are both clients and servers and so each peer may provide/request services to/from other peers. Empirical studies of P2P networks have been…

Given the respective advantages of the two complimentary techniques for peer-to-peer media streaming (namely tree-based push and mesh-based pull), there is a strong trend of combining them into a hybrid streaming system. Backed by recently…

P2P systems are a great solution to the problem of distributing resources. The main issue of P2P networks is that searching and retrieving resources shared by peers is usually expensive and does not take into account similarities among…

Data mining is used to extract hidden information from large databases. In Peer-to-Peer context, a challenging problem is how to find the appropriate Peer to deal with a given query without overly consuming bandwidth. Different methods…

A broadcast mode may augment peer-to-peer overlay networks with an efficient, scalable data replication function, but may also give rise to a virtual link layer in VPN-type solutions. We introduce a simple broadcasting mechanism that…

We present P2PL, a practical multi-device peer-to-peer deep learning algorithm that, unlike the federated learning paradigm, does not require coordination from edge servers or the cloud. This makes P2PL well-suited for the sheer scale of…

Considering topologies of anonymous networks we used to organizing anonymous communication into hard to trace paths hiding its origin or destination. In anonymity the company is crucial, however the serial transportation imposes a costly…
