Abstract—We propose a novel search mechanism for unstructured p2p networks, and show that it is both scalable, i.e., it leads to a bounded query traffic load per peer as the pee...
—Recently, unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) applications have become extremely popular. Searching in these networks has been a hot research topic. Flooding-based searching, which ...
Decentralized and unstructured peer-to-peer networks such as Gnutella are attractive for certain applications because they require no centralized directories and no precise contro...
