Benefits of an Implementation of H-P2PSIP

[Paper presented at:] Second International Conference on Advances in P2P Systems. AP2PS 2010. October 25-30, Florence (Italy)In this paper, we report on the results of experiments with an implementation of H-P2PSIP, which allows the exchange of information among different DHTs (Distributed Hash Tables) making use of a hierarchical architecture. This paper validates our previous H-P2PSIP proposal in an environment with a real TCP/IP stack close to a real scenario. The results show how the benefits of this real H-P2PSIP implementation in terms of routing performance (number of hops), delay and routing state (number of routing entries) are better than a flat DHT overlay network and how the exchange of information among different DHT overlay networks is feasible.This work has been supported by the FP7 TREND Grant (agreement No. 257740) and by the Regional Government of Madrid under the MEDIANET project (CAM, S2009/TIC-1468).European Community's Seventh Framework ProgramPublicad
