Active distributed peer-to-peer network architecture

The distribution of Gnutella topology nodes (a pure distributed peer-to-peer network) exhibits both typical power-law and small-world properties, but its original protocol simply uses the flooding algorithm to query the peer´s information and not use above property to improve its search efficiency, so it is a poor scalability problem. At the same time, it has the common problem that its querying routing is just implemented on the application layer, so the efficiency and performance cannot be high. For the above reasons, we proposed a new distributed peer-to-peer network model (active distributed peer-to-peer network, ADP2PN) by applying active network technology and stratifying the Gnutella network model, and effectively resolve the problem. In this paper, we present the architecture and query routing protocol of ADP2PN model, and analyse its rationality and validity.
