Abstract
Popular large-scale P2P content distribution systems employ a multi-source parallel downloading scheme to allow peers serve each other in a horde. Usually those systems rely on a central server to provide a directory service, which may become a bottleneck while the population of peers increases rapidly. We propose Xeja, a scalable P2P multi-source content distribution system to solve the problem. Xeja has a flexible channel-based distributed directory service to provide each peer an aggregate of content index automatically collected from peers who share some common interest. In addition, Xeja leverages the coordination between peers in a channel hierarchy in order to improve content availability. Simulation results show that Xeja can be built as an overlay on top of existing multi-source content distribution systems, and the distributed directory service effectively extends the available time of the entire file due to sub-seeding.
