Analysis of relod.net, a basic implementation of the RELOAD protocol for peer-to-peer networks

Actas de: XI Jornadas de Ingeniería Telemática (JITEL 2013) celebradas en Granada, 28-30 Octubre 2013. La web del evento es: http://dtstc.ugr.es/jitel2013/#The P2PSIP Working Group is chartered to develop protocols and mechanisms for the use of SIP in distributed environments, thus minimizing the need for centralized servers. Under this premise, the RELOAD protocol was created, whose design was generalized to accept other applications with similar requirements, and which is currently in process of standardization by the IETF. In this paper, we present a basic implementation and an analysis of this protocol proposed standard, given the great interest displayed in recent years by the scientific and business community in issues related to peerto- peer networks. Later, we conduct several experiments in order to validate its correct operation in real scenarios and provide feedback in relation with the current specificationThis research was supported in part by the Comunidad de Madrid grant S-2009/TIC-1468 (MEDIANET project).Publicad
