AN ALGORITHM FOR CONSISTENCY MAINTENANCE IN P2P SYSTEMS
Abstract
P2P is a popular technology used for file sharing. File replication and Consistency maintenance are the techniques used in P2P for high system performance. File replication methods specify replica nodes without considering consistency maintenance which may lead to high overhead for unnecessary file replications and consistency maintenance. Consistency maintenance methods update files without considering file replication dynamism which may not give the accuracy of replica consistency. Instead of passively accepting replicas and update messages, we develop a mechanism which combines both file replication and consistency maintenance. This mechanisam is very efficient in file replication and consistency maintenance at low cost. In this mechanism, accepting replicas and updates is based on file query rate and update rate.Downloads
