A Novel Method for Supporting Locality in Peer-to-Peer Overlays Using Hypercube Topology

Today, peer-to-peer networks are become more popular among internet users and more than millions peers share high volume of data from anywhere. Sending and receiving these data increase the network traffics terribly. By improving the performance of these networks not only the efficiency of these networks increase but also the overall performance of the internet augments. To achieve high performance and resilience to failures, a peer can make connections with those other peers that are geographically closer to it. In this paper, we present a novel mechanism for placing peers on the overlay network, which supports locality without increasing network traffic seriously.
