Abstract

Even though they were introduced only a few years ago, peer-to-peer (P2P) filesharing systems are now one of the most popular Internet applications and have become a major source of Internet traffic. Thus, it is extremely important that these systems be scalable. Unfortunately, the initial designs for P2P systems have significant scaling problems; for example, Napster has a centralized directory service, and Gnutella employs a flooding based search mechanism that is not suitable for large systems.

The interfaces of these systems are not all identical; some reveal only the put and get interface while others reveal the lookup(key) function directly. However, the above discussion refers to the underlying functionality and not the details of the API.
