Quality Enhancement of P2P using Interested Clusters in the P4P Architecture

Abstract

As Peer-to-Peer (P2P) emerges as a major paradigm for scalable network application design, so the application of P2P services is one of the interested topics in web services. However, too many P2P applications may lead to low utilization of network resources or low performance of application services. P4P (Proactive Network Provider Participation for P2P) is a kind of P2P network optimization techniques. In order to reduce the traffic and operating costs of Internet Service Provider (ISP) and P2P service providers, P4P provides the communication between ISP and P2P service providers by cooperation. Therefore, an Interested Clusters based P4P (ICP4P) is presented in the study that ICP4P can reduce the network traffic and increase network robustness. Then, the quality of service and the stability of P2P can be reached.
