Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing offers many attractive
features, such as self-organization, load-balancing,
availability, fault tolerance, and anonymity. However, it
also faces some serious challenges. In this paper, we
propose an Efficient Clustered Super-Peer P2P
architecture (ECSP) to overcome the scalability and
efficiency problems of existing unstructured P2P system.
With ECSP, peers are grouped into clusters according to
their topological proximity, and super-peers are selected
from regular peers to act as cluster leaders and service
providers. These super-peers are also connected to each
other, forming a backbone overlay network operating as
a distinct, yet integrated, application. To maintain the
dynamically adaptive overlay network and to manage the
routing on it, we propose an application level
broadcasting protocol: Efa. Applying only a small
amount of information about the topology of a network,
Efa is as simple as flooding, a conventional method used
in unstructured P2P systems. By eliminating many
duplicated messages, Efa is much more efficient and
scalable than flooding, and furthermore, it is completely
decentralized and self-organized. Our experimental
results prove that ESCP architecture, combined with the
super-peer backbone protocol, can generate impressive
levels of performance and scalability.
