A Structured Global Index Identifier Definition for Constructing Manageable, Operable and Scalable P2P Networks

Abstract:

P2P technology is potentially one of the cornerstones of future networks. But the absence of standards makes it difficult to operate and control P2P-based networks. In the paper, we defined a structured global index as the basis for constructing future manageable, operable and scalable networks, and try to find a way to solve the inherent problems of current P2P networks, such as interaction in heterogeneous networks and multi-dimensional query issues. In the beginning of the paper, we give an introduction on current P2P networks and summarize the problems; and then we will describe the structured global index in detail; finally, we give a prospect on future operation network, and through two cases to illustrate how the problems are solved.
