While people are now using peer-to-peer (P2P) applications for various
processes, such as le sharing and video streaming, many research and
engineering issues still need to be tackled in order to further advance P2P
technologies.
Peer-to-Peer Computing: Applications, Architecture,
Protocols, and Challenges
provides comprehensive theoretical and
practical coverage of the major features of contemporary P2P systems and
examines the obstacles to further success.
Setting the stage for understanding important research issues in P2P systems,
the book rst introduces various P2P network architectures. It then details
the ...
