Abstract :
We present BestPeer, a prototype P2P system that we have implemented at the National University of Singapore. BestPeer is a generic P2P system designed to serve as a platform on which P2P applications can be developed easily and efficiently. The network consists of two types of entities: a large number of computers (nodes), and a relatively fewer number of location independent global name lookup (LIGLO) servers. Each participating node runs the BestPeer (Java-based) software and will be able to communicate or share resources with any other nodes (i.e., peers) in the BestPeer network. Each node comprises two types of data: private data and sharable data. Nodes can only access peers´ data that are sharable
