Gnutella - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Overlay Networks and Distributed Hash Tables

Overlay networks are logical networks built on top of lower-layer networks, allowing for efficient data lookup and reliable communication. They come in unstructured and structured forms, with examples like Gnutella and BitTorrent. Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) are used in real-world applications li

Evaluating Peer-Peer Systems in Distributed Architectures

Abundant research is being conducted in peer-peer architectures, focusing on evaluating peers to understand system effectiveness. The lack of such assessments led to a detailed study on organizing peers in decentralized systems like Napster and Gnutella. The process involved crawling systems to meas
