In this paper we develop a model for random walk-based search mechanisms in unstructured P2P networks. This model is used to obtain analytical expressions for the performance metr...
—Random walk (RW) has been widely used as a strategy for searching in peer-to-peer networks. The boom of social network applications introduces new impact to the classical algori...
—Distributed object search is the primary function of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing system to locate and transfer the file. The predominant search schemes in unstructured P2P...
Until now, structured and unstructured networks have been considered in absentia of each other. We believe that next-generation P2P services will require both structured and unstr...
Selecting a random peer with uniform probability across a peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a fundamental function for unstructured search, data replication, and monitoring algorithms....
