“…In this study, I am interested in optimizing the search performance in Gnutella-like unstructured P2P networks. Existing orthogonal techniques in the literature for improving search performance in unstructured P2P networks include indexing (e.g., [5], [6], [7]), replications (e.g., [8], [9]), super peer architectures (e.g., [10], [11], [12], [13]), and overlay topologies (e.g., [14], [15]), among others. In this Paper, I primarily study the overlay topology formation technique for unstructured P2P networks, aiming to enhance search efficiency and effectiveness.…”
