Efficient content sharing using file segmentation and relocation in peer-to-peer networks

摘要

Recently, digital content sharing over peer-to-peer (P2P) network has been attracted. We proposed some methods that divide each content item into small blocks and allocates them on hybrid P2P network, and relocate and replicate the blocks for efficient content retrieval. This paper improves the method by avoiding an excessive content dispersion and removing unattractive content items frequently to reduce network load and content loss. Also, we showed the effectiveness of the proposal by computer simulations.
