P2P Search Techniques

Centralized P2P systems


Decentralized & unstructured P2P systems


e.g. Gnutella
Hybrid - partially decentralized


e.g. Napster, SETI@home
e.g., Freenet
Structured P2P systems

DHT systems (CAN/Chord/Pastry/Tapestry)

Skip-list based systems
Napster

MP3 file sharing with a centralized
catalog

Peers hold files

Napster Inc’s servers hold catalog

File transfer is P2P, using a
proprietary protocol
Napster: Publish a File
Users upload their IP address and
music titles they wish to share
Central
Napster server
192.1.2.3
Napster: Query for a File

Users search for peers to download
desired files

Disadvantage of Centralized Directory

Performance bottleneck

Single point of failure
Can we do it without a directory ?
Gnutella



No catalog
Pings network to locate Gnutella
peers
File requests are broadcast to peers


Flooding or breadth-first research
When provider is located, the file is
transferred via HTTP
Gnutella: Issue a Request
xyz.mp3 ?
Gnutella: Flood the Request
Gnutella: Reply with the File
Gnutella - Disadvantages



Network flooding - unnecessary
network traffic
Using TTL - some files might not
be found
Alternatively,


using ultranodes (or supernodes)
using depth-first search, i.e.,
Freenet

Using Ultranodes




Queries flood only the network of
ultranodes
Other peer nodes shielded from query
traffic
Combine the benefits of centralized
and decentralized search;
Take advantage of the heterogeneity
in peer capabilities;

The requested file not found due to a poor

In this case, query backs out of the deadend, and tries another peer in depth-first
manner
Structured P2P Systems


Flexible mapping of keys to physical nodes
 Data Independence
Small network diameter
Small degree (fan-out)
Local routing decisions
Robustness to churn
Routing flexibility
Proximity
A “storage” or “memory” mechanism with

No guarantees on persistence
Maintenance via soft state

How to Bound Search Space ?
Work on
placement!
Network
Basic Idea - Hashing
Publish (H(y))
P2P Network
Object “y”
Objects have
hash keys
Join (H(x))
Peer “x”
H(y)
H(x)
y
Hash key
Peer nodes also
x have hash keys
in the same
hash space
Place object to the peer with closest hash keys
Viewed as a Distributed Hash
Table
0
Hash table
Peer
nodes
Each is responsible for a range of the hash table,
according to the peer hash key
Objects
Note
that are placed in the peer with the closest key
peers are

Want to keep onlyone hop to

Simplest idea:
Everyone knows everyone else!
Using Distributed Hash Table (DHT)

CAN – Content Addressable Network




Each peer is
responsible for one
zone, i.e., stores all
(key, value) pairs of
the zone
Each peer knows the
neighbors of its zone
Random assignment
of peers to zones at
startup
Dimensional-ordered
multihop routing
