Abstract
The popularity and bandwidth consumption attributed to current
Peer-to-Peer file-sharing applications makes the operation of these
distributed systems very important for the Internet community. Efficient
object discovery is the first step towards the realization of distributed
resource-sharing. In this work, we present a detailed overview of recent
and existing search methods for unstructured Peer-to-Peer networks. We
analyze the performance of the algorithms relative to various metrics,
giving emphasis on the success rate, bandwidth-efficiency and adaptation
to dynamic network conditions. Simulation results are used to empirically
evaluate the behavior of nine representative schemes under a variety of
different environments.
