Building resilient low-diameter peer-to-peer topologies
As more applications rely on underlying peer-to-peer topologies, the need for efficient and resilient infrastructure has become more pressing. A number of important classes of topologies have emerged over the last several years, all with various strengths and weaknesses. For example, the popular structured peer-to-peer topologies based on Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) offer applications assured performance, but are not resilient to attacks and major disruptions that are likely in the overlay. In contrast, unstructured topologies where nodes create random connections among themselves on-the-fly, are resilient to attacks but can not offer performance assurances because they often create overlays with large diameters, making some nodes practically unreachable. We propose Phenix, a peer-to-peer algorithm for building resilient low-diameter peer-to-peer topologies that can resist different types of organized and targeted malicious behavior. Phenix leverages the strengths of these existing...
