Abstract:

Peer-to-peer systems are characterized by a very large
number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers), which
pool together their resources and rely on each other for data
and service. In this way, they offer many benefits: adaptation,
self-organization, load-balancing, fault-tolerance, availability
through massive replication, and the ability to pool together
and harness large amounts of resource. Despite their many
strengths, however, most peer-to-peer environments today are
particularly unreliable to work in because the unreliable nature
of peers. This has been a great challenge to the widespread
acceptance and usage of peer-to-peer systems.
