An overlay network is formed on top of – and generally independently from – the underlying physical computer network, by the peers (nodes) of a P2P system. The dynamics of pee...
Distributed peer-to-peer systems rely on voluntary participation of peers to effectively manage a storage pool. In such systems, data is generally replicated for performance and a...
