BLC：A Scalable peer-to-peer Lookup Service and Data Sharing Architecture

Abstract

The peer-to-peer applications become more and more popular. There are many different kinds of peer-to-peer architectures. However, most of them only focus on how to search data and/or how to maintain neighbor relations. Unfortunately, some hosts selected to be hot points (via points) may result in low performance due to heavy overhead. In order to solve these problems, we propose a new P2P architecture, BLC, which is based on Chord[3]. In BLC, we also pay more attention to the transmission and search over this logical topology. Experimental results show that our approach can improve the efficiency of query and data transmission and thus reduce the network resources consumption.
