— The present paper introduces a replication method that is meant to balance the storage load of peers in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks for file sharing and to provid...
In this paper, we consider the problem of file synchronization when a mobile host shares files with a backbone file server in a network file system. Several diff schemes have been...
Peer-to-peer file-sharing networks depend on peers uploading data to each other. Some peers, called free-riders, will not upload data unless there is an incentive to do so. Algor...

In this paper we model and study the performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems in terms of their `service capacity'. We identify two regimes of interest: the tra...
Random peer selection is used by numerous P2P applications; examples include application-level multicast, unstructured file sharing, and network location mapping. In most of thes...
