Peer-to-Peer Architecture

Peers

Gateway Server

Server-based architecture Client-Server / Server-Cluster Problems：

Limited resources All loads are centered on the server

Server-based architecture has low scalability. The setup and maintenance cost is high.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture Advantages：

Distributing loads to all users Users consume and provide resources

P2P architecture has high scalability. The setup and maintenance cost is low.

The architectures

The Client Side

Today’s clients can perform more roles than just forwarding users requests

Today’s clients have:more computing powermore storage space

Thin client Fat client

Evolution at the Client Side

IBM 8-bit PC @ 4.77MHz

360k diskettes

64-bit PC @ 4-core 4GHz750GB HD

DEC’S VT100No storage

‘70 ‘80 2013

What Else Has Changed?

The number of home PCs is increasing rapidly Most of the PCs are “fat clients” As the Internet usage grow, more and more PCs

are connecting to the global net Most of the time PCs are idle

How can we use all this?

Peer-to-Peer (P2P)

What is peer-to-peer (P2P)? “Peer-to-peer is a way of structuring

distributed applications such that the individual nodes have symmetric roles. Rather than being divided into clients and servers each with quite distinct roles, in P2P applications a node may act as both a client and a server.”-- Charter of Peer-to-peer Research Group, IETF/IRTF, June 24, 2004(http://www.irtf.org/charters/p2prg.html)

Resources Sharing

What can we share? Computer-related resources

Shareable related-computer resources: CPU cycles - seti@home, GIMPS Bandwidth - PPLive, PPStream Storage Space - OceanStore, Murex Data - Napster, Gnutella People - Buddy Finder Camera, Microphone, Sensor, Service???

SETI@Home

SETI – Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence

@Home – On your own computer A radio telescope in Puerto Rico scans the

sky for radio signals Fills a DAT tape of 35GB in 15 hours That data have to be analyzed

1. Users launch Napster and connect to Napster server

3. beastieboy enters search criteria

4. Napster displays matches to beastieboy

2. Napster creates dynamic directory from users’ personal .mp3 libraries

History of Napster

5/99: Shawn Fanning (freshman, Northeastern University) founds Napster Online (supported by Groove)

12/99: First lawsuit 7/01: simultaneous online users 160K 6/02: file bankrupt … 10/03: Napster 2 (Supported by Roxio) (users

should pay $9.99/month)

Gnutella History Gnutella was written by Justin Frankel, the

21-year-old founder of Nullsoft. (Nullsoft acquired by AOL, June 1999) Nullsoft (maker of WinAmp) posted Gnutella

on the Web, March 14, 2000. A day later AOL yanked Gnutella, at the

behest of Time Warner. Too late: 23k users on Gnutella People had already downloaded and shared

the program. Gnutella continues today, run by independent

programmers.

Gnutella ProtocolScenario: Joining Gnutella Network

A

Gnutella Network The new node connects to a

well known ‘Anchor’ node or ‘Bootstrap’ node.

Then sends a PING message to discover other nodes.

PONG messages are sent in reply from hosts offering new connections with the new node.

Direct connections are then made to the newly discovered nodes.

So Far

Centralized :

- Directory size – O(n)

- Number of hops – O(1) Flooded queries:

- Directory size – O(1)

- Number of hops – O(n)

n: number of participating nodes

We Want

Efficiency : O(log(n)) messages per lookup

Scalability : O(log(n)) state per node Robustness : surviving massive

failures

How Can It Be Done?

How do you search in O(log(n)) time?Binary search

You need an ordered array How can you order nodes in a network and data

objects? Hash function!

Example of Hasing

Shark SHA-1

Object ID (key):DE11AC

SHA-1

Object ID (key):AABBCC

194.90.1.5:8080

Basic Idea

Hash key

Object “y”

Objects have hash keys

Peer “x”Peer nodes also have hash keys in the same hash space

P2P Network

y xH(y) H(x)

Join (H(x))

Publish (H(y))

Place object to the peer with closest hash keys

Mapping an object to the closest node with a larger key

0 M

- an data object

- a node

Viewed as a Distributed Hash Table

Peernode

Internet

DHT Distributed Hash Table Input: key (file name)

Output: value (file location) Each node is responsible for a range of the hash

table, according to the node’s hash key. Objects’ directories are placed in (managed by) the node with the closest key

It must be adaptive to dynamic node joining and leaving

How to Find an Object?

Simple Idea Track peers which allow us to move quickly

across the hash space a peer p tracks those peers responsible for hash keys

Hybrid P2P – Preserves some of the traditional C/S architecture. A central server links between clients, stores indices tables, etc Napster

Unstructured P2P – no control over topology and file placement Gnutella, Morpheus, Kazaa, etc

Structured P2P – topology is tightly controlled and placement of files are not random Chord, CAN, Pastry, Tornado, etc
