  1. Beyond Napster: An Overview of Peer-to-Peer Systems and Applications Sami Rollins

  2. What is Peer-to-Peer (P2P)?

  3. Introduction • Motivation: a vision of the future • A taxonomy of P2P systems • Three common implementations • Mobile P2P

  4. Motivation

  5. What is a peer? • “…an entity with capabilities similar to other entities in the system.”

  6. The Web Model • Contact a server and download a web page • Server has all the resources and capabilities • But…client devices becoming more powerful and well-connected

  7. The P2P Model • A peer’s resources are similar to the resources of the other participants • P2P – peers communicating directly with other peers and sharing resources

  8. P2P System Taxonomy P2P Systems and Applications Data-centric eDonkey Gnutella Network-centric Akamai Bittorrent User-centric IM Skype Computation-centric SETI@home/BOINC

  13. Network-centricContent Distribution

  14. P2P Goals/Benefits • Cost sharing • Resource aggregation • Improved scalability/reliability • Increased autonomy • Anonymity/privacy • Dynamism

  15. Research Questions • Group Management • How do I find and connect to my peers? • Data/Resource Location • How do I find the resources (e.g., files) I want?

  16. Approaches • Centralized • Unstructured • Structured (Distributed Hash Tables)

  17. Centralized Bob Alice • Napster model • Benefits: • Drawbacks: Judy Jane

  18. Unstructured Carl Jane • Gnutella model • Benefits: • Drawbacks: Bob Alice Judy

  19. KaZaA model Hybrid centralized and unstructured Benefits: Drawbacks: Improvements: SuperPeers Carl Kelly Mary SuperLinda SuperWendy SuperAdam Jane Judy Alice Bob

  20. Structured 001 012 • Chord, CAN, Tapestry, Pastry model • Benefits: • Drawbacks: 212 ? 212 ? 332 212 305

  21. P2P Challenges • Decentralization • Scalability and Performance • Anonymity • Fairness • Dynamism • Security

  22. From P2P to Mobile Computing

  23. Devices frequently disconnected from each other and the Internet Devices have a limited supply of energy! Mobile Computing

  24. Current Research • Hierarchical Power Management • Mark Corner, Jacob Sorber, Nilanjan Banerjee (UMass Amherst) • Goal: Combine mobile platforms with varying power consumption characteristics into a single power-efficient device • LLAMA - Longer Lifetime Algorithms for Mobile Applications • Denitsa Tilkidjieva, Maria Kazandjieva, Mark Corner, Nilanjan Banerjee • Goal: Employ intelligent algorithms for determining how much energy a mobile device can devote to performing background tasks

  25. Summary • P2P is more than just file sharing! • Building P2P systems and applications poses lots of interesting challenges

  26. Beyond Napster: An Overview of Peer-to-Peer Systems and Applications Sami Rollins

  27. Improvements: SuperPeers • KaZaA model • Hybrid centralized and unstructured • Advantages and disadvantages?
