Jxta-Overlay : an interface for Efficient Peer Selection in P2P JXTA-based Systems

摘要

In this paper we address the problem of the efficient peer selection in P2P distributed platforms. To this end, we have developed a P2P distributed platform using Sun's JXTA technology, which is endowed with resource brokerage strategies to efficiently select peers using four selection models: (a) economic scheduling model; (b) priced-based model; (c) peer-priority selection model; and, (d) random selection model. Next, we have deployed the P2P platform in a real network using nodes of the PlanetLab and have experimentally evaluated the performance of the peer selection models. The P2P platform offers a user-friendly interface for efficient peer selection and configuration of the P2P platform.
