P2P overlays provide a framework for building distributed applications consisting of few to many resources with features including self-configuration, scalability, and resilience to node failures. Such systems have been successfully adopted in large-scale services for content delivery networks, file sharing, and data storage. In small-scale systems, they can be useful to address privacy concerns and for network applications that lack dedicated servers. The bootstrap problem, finding an existing peer in the overlay, remains a challenge to enabling these services for small-scale P2P systems. In large networks, the solution to the bootstrap problem has been the use of dedicated services, though creating and maintaining these systems requires expertise and resources, which constrain their usefulness and make them unappealing for small-scale systems. This paper surveys and summarizes requirements that allow peers potentially constrained by network connectivity to bootstrap small-scale overlays through the use of existing public overlays. In order to support bootstrapping, a public overlay must support the following requirements: a method for reflection in order to obtain publicly reachable addresses, so peers behind network address translators and firewalls can receive incoming connection requests; communication relaying to share public addresses and communicate when direct communication is not feasible; and rendezvous for discovering remote peers, when the overlay lacks stable membership. After presenting a survey of various public overlays, we identify two overlays that match the requirements: XMPP overlays, such as Google Talk and Live Journal Talk, and Brunet, a structured overlay based upon Symphony. We present qualitative experiences with prototypes that demonstrate the ability to bootstrap small-scale private structured overlays from public Brunet or XMPP infrastructures.

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have mostly focused on task oriented networking, where networks are constructed for single applications, i.e. file-sharing, DNS caching, etc. In this work, we introduce IPOP, a system for creating virtual IP networks on top of a P2P overlay. IPOP enables seamless access to Grid resources spanning multiple domains by aggregating them into a virtual IP network that is completely isolated from the physical network. The virtual IP network provided by IPOP supports deployment of existing IP-based protocols over a robust, self-configuring P2P overlay. We present implementation details as well as experimental measurement results taken from LAN, WAN, and Planet-Lab tests.
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical semantic overlay network for searching heterogeneous data over wide-area networks. In this system, data are represented as RDF triples based on ontologies. Peers that have the same semantics are organized into a semantic cluster, and the semantic clusters are self-organized into a one-dimensional ring space to form the toplevel semantic overlay network. Each semantic cluster has its low-level overlay network which can be built using an unstructured overlay or a DHT-based overlay. A search is first forwarded to the appropriate semantic cluster, and then routed to the specific peers that hold the relevant data using a parallel flooding algorithm or a DHT-based routing algorithm. By combining the advantages of both unstructured and structured overlay networks, we are able to achieve a better tradeoff in terms of search efficiency, search cost and overlay maintenance cost.
Given a large number of online services on the Internet, from time to time, people are still struggling to find out the services that they need. On the other hand, when there are considerable research and development on service discovery and service recommendation, most of the related work are centralized and thus suffers inherent shortages of the centralized systems, e.g., adv-driven, lack at trust, transparence and fairness. In this paper, we propose a ServiceNet - a peer-to-peer (P2P) service network for service discovery and service recommendation. ServiceNet is inspired by blockchain technology and aims at providing an open, transparent and self-growth, and self-management service ecosystem. The paper will present the basic idea, an architecture design of the prototype, and an initial implementation and performance evaluation the prototype design.
Context information has emerged as an important resource to enable autonomy and flexibility of pervasive applications. The widespread use of context information necessitates efficient wide-area lookup services. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a peer-to-peer context lookup system to support contextaware applications over multiple smart spaces. Our system provides a distributed repository for context storage, and a semantic peer-to-peer network for context lookup. Collaborative context-aware applications that utilize different context information in multiple smart spaces can be easily built by invoking a pull or push service provided by our system. We outline the design and implementation of our system, and validate our system through the development of cross-domain applications
As ISPs begin to cooperate to expose their network locality information as services, e.g., P4P, solutions based on locality information provision for P2P traffic localization will soon approach their capability limits. A natural question is: can we do any better provided that no further locality information improvement can be made? This paper shows how the utility of locality information could be limited by conventional P2P data scheduling algorithms, even as sophisticated as the local rarest first policy. Network codings simplified data scheduling makes it competent for improving P2P applications throughput. Instead of only using locality information in the topology construction, this paper proposes the locality-aware network coding (LANC) that uses locality information in both the topology construction and downloading decision, and demonstrates its exceptional ability for P2P traffic localization. The randomization introduced by network coding enhances the chance for a peer to find innovative blocks in its neighborhood. Aided by proper locality-awareness, the probability for a peer to get innovative blocks from its proximity will increase as well, resulting in more efficient use of network resources. Extensive simulation results show that LANC can significantly reduce P2P traffic redundancy without sacrificing application-level performance. Aided by the same locality knowledge, the traffic redundancies of LANC in most cases are less than 50% of the current best approach that does not use network coding.
