Neighbor Table Construction and Update in a Dynamic Peer-to-Peer Network
In a system proposed by Plaxton, Rajaraman and Richa (PRR), the expected cost of accessing a replicated object was proved to be asymptotically optimal for a static set of nodes and pre-existence of consistent and optimal neighbor tables in nodes [8]. To implement PRR’s hypercube routing scheme in a dynamic, distributed environment, such as the Internet, various protocols are needed (for node joining, leaving, table optimization, and failure recovery). In this paper, we first present a conceptual foundation, called C-set trees, for protocol design and reasoning about consistency. We then present the detailed specification of a join protocol. In our protocol, only nodes that are joining need to keep extra state information about the join process. We present a rigorous proof that the join protocol generates consistent neighbor tables for an arbitrary number of concurrent joins. The crux of our proof is based upon induction on a C-set tree. Our join protocol can also be used for build...
