Extended Equal Service and Differentiated Service Models for Peer-to-Peer File Sharing
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems have proved to be the most effective and popular
file sharing applications in recent years. Previous studies mainly focus on the
equal service and the differentiated service strategies when peers have no
initial data before their download. In an upload-constrained P2P file sharing
system, we model both the equal service process and the differentiated service
process when peers' initial data distribution satisfies some special
conditions, and also show how to minimize the time to get the file to any
number of peers. The proposed models can reveal the intrinsic relations among
the initial data amount, the size of peer set and the minimum last finish time.
By using the models, we can also provide arbitrary degree of differentiated
service to a certain number of peers. We believe that our analysis process and
achieved theoretical results could provide fundamental insights into studies on
bandwidth allocation and data scheduling, and can give helpful reference both
for improving system performance and building effective incentive mechanism in

Peer-to-Peer File Sharing WebApp: Enhancing Data Security and Privacy through Peer-to-Peer File Transfer in a Web Application
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking has emerged as a promising technology that enables distributed systems to operate in a decentralized manner. P2P networks are based on a model where each node in the network can act as both a client and a server, thereby enabling data and resource sharing without relying on centralized servers. The P2P model has gained considerable attention in recent years due to its potential to provide a scalable, fault-tolerant, and resilient architecture for various applications such as file sharing, content distribution, and social networks.In recent years, researchers have also proposed hybrid architectures that combine the benefits of both structured and unstructured P2P networks. For example, the Distributed Hash Table (DHT) is a popular hybrid architecture that provides efficient lookup and search algorithms while maintaining the flexibility and adaptability of the unstructured network.To demonstrate the feasibility of P2P systems, several prototypes have been developed, such as the BitTorrent file-sharing protocol and the Skype voice-over-IP (VoIP) service. These prototypes have demonstrated the potential of P2P systems for large-scale applications and have paved the way for the development of new P2P-based systems
