We propose a source peer selection algorithm which efficiently chooses peers as sources from a set of peers having the requested file in a hybrid P2P file sharing system. Our propo...
Fairness is an important management issue for peer-to-peer file sharing systems. In this paper, we study the credit system of the P2P file sharing network eMule (http://www.emule-p...
—Structured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are highly scalable, self-organizing, and support efficient lookups. Furthermore, Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), due to their features, a...
