PARALLEL INFORMATION DELIVERY METHOD BASED ON PEER-TO-PEER ENABLED DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY AND THE SYSTEM THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to an information delivery method based on a peer-to-peer enabled distributed computing technology on a network. The parallel delivery system and method according to the present invention is characterized in comprising server for dividing information to be delivered into data of a predetermined size and storing the divided data; client for requesting arbitrary information; a plurality of peers including Peers for redundantly storing the divided data and performing delivery of the data of the predetermined size on behalf of server. According to the present invention, since information is delivered not through one-to-one delivery between the server and the client but through parallel delivery among a plurality of peers and the client, time required for delivering data of the same size can be remarkably reduced. In addition, since the central server does not centrally control all requests from all clients but the plurality of peers simultaneously process the requests in parallel, load of the server can be greatly reduced, so that the cost for constructing the server can be reduced and total available bandwidth of the network can be enlarged.
