A Cluster Based Replication Architecture for Load Balancing in Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution

In P2P systems, large volumes of data are declustered naturally across a large number of peers. But it is very difficult to control the initial data distribution because every user has the freedom to share any data with other users. The system scalability can be improved by distributing the load across multiple servers which is proposed by replication. The large scale content distribution systems were improved broadly using the replication techniques. The demanded contents can be brought closer to the clients by multiplying the source of information geographically, which in turn reduce both the access latency and the network traffic. In addition to this, due to the intrinsic dynamism of the P2P environment, static data distribution cannot be expected to guarantee good load balancing. If the hot peers become bottleneck, it leads to increased user response time and significant performance degradation of the system. Hence an effective load balancing mechanism is necessary in such cases a...
