— Most of existing search algorithms for unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems share one common approach: the requesting node sends out a query and the query message is repeate...
To improve search efficiency and reduce unnecessary traffic in Peerto-Peer (P2P) networks, this paper proposes a trust-based probabilistic search algorithm, called preferential wa...
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...
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...

— We study hybrid search schemes for unstructured peer-to-peer networks. We quantify performance in terms of number of hits, network overhead, and response time. Our schemes comb...
