In this paper, we contribute to the enhancement of routing in unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems. Our contribution aims to propose an alternative to the repetitive interactions between peers in discovery which waste considerable time. We propose a methodology that seeks effectiveness and swiftness. Contrary to classic and heuristic-based routing strategies, the main goal of our proposition is that every peer prepares a database at the integration phase. The database includes information about peers, locations, routes to every destination, etc. Every peer possesses its own database and is able to update it whenever a change occurs in the system. Changes refer to the integration of new peers and the dissociation of existing ones. Theoretically, the communication between peers will become significantly quicker since every peer knows enough information about the other peers forming the system. The application of our strategy demonstrates its fitness to the proposed system model in addition to its celerity and relevance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
