A mesh-connected tree based hybrid peer-to-peer network

The main drawback of a centralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network is that it can suffer from single-point failures during a over-flooding of requests. On the other hand, a distributed P2P has network congestion problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid structure based on a mesh-connected tree (MCT) architecture to overcome above situations. The simulation of packet transformation in MCT architecture analyzes delay, jitter and package loss. We find, during a simulated transmission time of 0.001 seconds, the package loss to be 0, while the best peak-to-peak delay time and jitter of the proposed P2P scheme are 0.002217 and 0.00140, respectively. Consequently, the proposed method effectively solves the over-flooding and network congestion in both centralized and distributed P2P networks.
