Abstract
Peer-to-peer (P2P) architectures present benefits like scalability, load balancing and fault tolerance when compared to Client/Server architectures. Structured P2P systems furthermore feature efficient lookup mechanisms: an exact search is usually performed with logarithmic complexity relative to the number of peers in the system. The notion of virtual servers, peers participating in a heterogeneous, structured peer-to-peer (P2P) network may host different numbers of virtual servers, and by migrating virtual servers, peers can balance their loads proportional to their capacities close by in the address space. Load balancing is a critical issue for the efficient operation of peer-to-peer networks.This project include a simple protocol that balances load by moving nodes to arbitrary locations “where they are needed.”
