SURVEY OF SEARCH AND REPLICATION SCHEMES IN UNSTRUCTURED P2P NETWORKS

摘要

P2P computing lifts taxing issues in various areas of computer science. The?largely used decentralized unstructured P2P systems are ad hoc in nature and present a?number of research challenges. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of various?state-of-the-art search and replication schemes for unstructured P2P networks. The?classifications of search and replication techniques and their advantages and disadvantages?are briefly explained. Finally, the various issues on search and replication for unstructured?P2P networks are discussed.
