Multi-machines communication mechanism and load balancing design on peer-to-peer structure

Abstract

The mode of network application is improved from centrallized to distributed by the impetus of peer-to-peer technique, which can solve the large size of applications in the network better, such as: peer-to-peer computing, coordinated work, and file swapping. A communication mechanism on peer-to-peer structure is introduced in this paper. In this communication mechanism, nodes can join (and leave) at any time, and only the adjacent nodes respond to the request messages, thus the network traffic is reduced greatly compared to that in the flooding mechanism. Furthermore, a self-adaptive dynamic load-balancing algorithm is introduced based on this communication mechanism.
