B. Lalitha, Ch D V Subba Rao . Moderating Redundant Traffic Generated by Topology Mismatch in P2P Networks. International Journal of Computer Applications. 82, 12 ( November 2013), 19-23. DOI=10.5120/14168-2284
The formation of unstructured overlays without considering the underlying physical network properties introduces a substantial amount of redundant traffic into the P2P network. Also the frequent changes to the overlay topology and message overhead involved in maintaining the P2P overlays affects the performance of the system. By optimizing the routes traversed by the peers during the communication and implementing a simple but scalable and robust P2P overlay, the proposed system tries to reduce the redundant traffic in the network. The system is assessed by proper simulation and analysis with the findings providing improvements in the total system performance.
