C.Xu: Fault Resilience of Structured P2P Systems

Abstract. A fundamental problem that confronts structured peer-topeer system that use DHT technologies to map data onto nodes is the performance of the network under the circumstance that a large percentage of nodes join and fail frequently and simultaneously. A careful examination of some typical peer-to-peer networks will contribute a lot to choosing and using certain kind of topology in special applications. This paper analyzes the performance of Chord [7] and Koorde [2], and find out the crash point of each network through the simulation experiment.
