TreeP: A Self-reconfigurable Topology for Unstructured P2P Systems

摘要

We present an efficient and robust network topology for managing distributed resources in P2P-Grid environments. This topology is called TreeP and exploits both features of P2P and grid computing models. It uses P2P properties in looking for available resources, while using Grid properties to implement communications and computations on a distributed computing platform. Here, we present how this architecture is distributively built and maintained, the related properties and our first experimental results. We show that this topology is very scalable, robust, load-balanced, and easy to construct and maintain.
