摘要:

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing technology has been widely used on the Internet to exchange data. However, it occupies much network bandwidth, and thus greatly influences traditional business on the Internet. Besides, problems about free-riders and ‘tragedy of the commons’ in the P2P environment estrange from it P2P users who constantly contribute to the network with quality resources. This article proposes a new P2P network traffic control mechanism based on global evaluation values. It aims to help individual users to avoid peak traffic time as much as possible, ease network congestion and protect traditional business on the Internet, as well as differentiating priority grades of peers according to their contributions and stimulating them to share their valuable resources actively. This article first analyzes the current state of network traffic, and then elaborates on P2P network traffic control policies and proposes the peer’s priority level differentiation mechanism based on global evaluation values. Finally, after the testing results and analysis of the proposed P2P network traffic control mechanism are discussed, conclusions are drawn.

Abstract:

Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing technology has been widely used on the Internet to exchange data. However, it occupies much network bandwidth, and thus greatly influences traditional business on the Internet. Besides, problems about free-riders and ‘tragedy of the commons’ in the P2P environment estrange from it P2P users who constantly contribute to the network with quality resources. This article proposes a new P2P network traffic control mechanism based on global evaluation values. It aims to help individual users to avoid peak traffic time as much as possible, ease network congestion and protect traditional business on the Internet, as well as differentiating priority grades of peers according to their contributions and stimulating them to share their valuable resources actively. This article first analyzes the current state of network traffic, and then elaborates on P2P network traffic control policies and proposes the peer’s priority level differentiation mechanism based on global evaluation values. Finally, after the testing results and analysis of the proposed P2P network traffic control mechanism are discussed, conclusions are drawn.
