P. Prasanna Murali Krishna, M. V. Subramanyam, K. Satyaprasad . Performance Analysis of Chord Protocol for Peer to Peer Overlay Topology in Wireless Mesh Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 65, 13 ( March 2013), 49-52. DOI=10.5120/10988-6150
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications have been extensively used for file sharing and accounts for more than 70% of the traffic in the internet. The inherent characteristics of P2P make it advantageous in content distribution when compared to client-server architecture. In a P2P network, there is no clear distinction between client and server nodes, as every peer is both a client and a server at the same time. Thus, the time required to distribute data is lesser when compared to the client-server method. Due to the distributed and scalability of P2P, structured P2P approaches have also been proposed for ad-hoc networks. The potential for distributed P2P networking applications using a structured lookup algorithm such as Chord is enormous. However, whilst it has been proven that a structured approach improves lookup performance in a high bandwidth wired network; overlay networks may create unnecessary overhead that could negatively impact performance given an unstable environment such as a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). In this paper, it is proposed to study existing CHORD protocols on WMN when nodes are static and dynamic.
