Furthermore, Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs), due to their features, are used more and more for file-sharing and content distribution applications. However, a major weakness of traditional DHTs is the search for stored content, as data is assigned to nodes based on hash functions, and the very nature of hash tables allows only exact pattern matches. We present Cerco, a solution for the problem of range queries by using the principles of order-preserving DHTs and a hierarchically structured P2P approach. To guarantee an efficient routing and load balancing, Cerco uses a dynamic hierarchy of DHTs by creating subrings on demand and two explicit load balancing strategies. Our evaluation shows that Cerco is able to achieve the goals of supporting range queries, logarithmic-hop routing, and efficient load balancing.

So far the distribution of load, caused by the players in these games, is not distributed dynamically. After the launch of a new game, the introduction of new content, during special ingame events, or also during normal operations, players tend to concentrate in certain regions of the game worlds and cause overload conditions. Therefore we propose the use of structured P2P technology for the server infrastructure of the MMOGs to improve the reliability and scalability. Previous work segmented the game work into rectangular areas; however this approach often split a group of players to different servers, causing additional overhead. This work presents a cluster-based Peer-to-Peer approach, which can be used for load balancing in MMOGs or in other virtual worlds. The system is able to dynamically adapt to the current state of the game and handle uneven distributions of the players in the game world. We show through simulation, also with traces from real online games, that the cluster-based approach performs better than the previous P2P-based systems, which split the world in rectangular areas.

In this paper we present SARA (Anonymous Overlay Routing Providing Sender And Receiver Anonymity), which enables sender, receiver and relationship anonymity using layered encryption and distributed traffic mixes, similar to a Chaumian Mix. Via IP-datagram service and address virtualization it is fully transparent to applications. Organized as structured Peer-To-Peer system, SARA is highly scalable and fault tolerant. In SARA each communication partner randomly selects a number of nodes from the overlay and concatenates them to an anonymous communication path. The sender selects the head of the path, the receiver builds the tail and publishes this information in the overlay network using an anonymous ID. Via this ID the sender retrieves the tail nodes of the path and concatenates both path section. Layered encryption hides the identities of the sender, receiver and the intermediate nodes. 5.

Although recent research focuses strongly on energy aware applications and operating systems, power consumption is still a limiting factor. Once sensor nodes are deployed, it is challenging and sometimes even impossible to change batteries. As a result, erroneous lifetime prediction causes high costs and may render a sensor network useless, before its purpose is fulfilled. In this paper we present AEON, a novel evaluation tool to quantitatively predict power consumption of sensor nodes and whole sensor networks. Our energy model, based on measurements of node current draw and the execution of real code, enables accurate prediction of the actual power consumption of sensor nodes. Consequently, preventing erroneous assumptions on node and network lifetime. Moreover, our detailed energy model allows to compare different low power and energy aware approaches in terms of energy efficiency.

Distributed hash tables (DHT) are designed for highly scalable, self-organizing, and efficient distribution and lookup of data, whereby data is stored globally persistent. The range of values of the corresponding hash function is partitioned and each interval is assigned to a node of the DHT. Because the assignment of data to nodes is based on hash functions, one assumes that the respective data load is distributed evenly across all participating nodes. However most DHT show difficulties with load balancing as we demonstrate in this paper. As a solution for this problem, we present a new and very simple approach for balancing stored data between peers in a fashion analogous to the dissipation of heat energy in materials. We compare this algorithm with other approaches for load balancing and present results based on simulations and a prototype implementation. This new algorithm improves the distribution of load in DHT without requiring major changes of the DHT themselves. In addition, we show that the fault tolerance of peer-to-peer systems is increased by the proposed algorithm. http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?isnumber=29935&arnumber=1367197&count=128&index=2 Print IEEE Press Proceedings of LCN 2004 – 29th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks IEEE Tampa, Florida, USA LCN 2004 – 29th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks November 2004 en 0-7695-2260-2 10.1109/LCN.2004.10 SimonRieche LeoPetrak KlausWehrle inproceedings 200410riechehotp2preliability 2004 10 108-113 Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are very useful for managing large amounts of widely distributed data. For this purpose Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) offer a highly scalable and self-organizing paradigm for efficient distribution and retrieval of data. Thereby a common assumption of P2P-Systems is, that the participating nodes are unreliable and may fail at any time. Since many of research goes into the design of DHT lookup services, these systems aim to provide a stable global addressing structure. But to storage data reliable in a DHT only few techniques were already developed. However since data has to be stored persistent in the network, it should be retrieved anytime, even if nodes fail. In this work we discuss possibilities to store data fault tolerant in a structured Peer-to-Peer system.

Due to their crucial characteristics – namely scalability, flexibility, and resilience – they are quite interesting for being applied in ad-hoc networks. But, there are plenty of open questions concerning the applicability of Distributed Hash Tables in mobile ad-hoc scenarios: Do new problems arise when both technologies are used together? Are there any synergy effects when both technologies are combined? Are the results and assumptions, made for the infrastructural Internet, still true if a mobile ad-hoc network is used instead? In this paper, we discuss these and further questions and offer some solutions for using Distributed Hash Tables in ad-hoc networks. Print GI. LNI
