Abstract :
We propose a fault tolerant, peer-to-peer replication network for synchronizing files across multiple hosts. The proposed topology is constructed by applying existing technologies and tools to ensure that files are kept synchronized even after subsequent modifications. One of its main advantages lies in the fact that there is no central authority to coordinate the process, hosts are connected in a peer-to-peer fashion, thus avoiding a single point of failure. Our proposal is intended for use in networks of personal computers where a small number of hosts have to be synchronized.
