A Structured Global Index Identifier Definition for Constructing Manageable, Operable and Scalable P2P Networks

Abstract

P2P technology is potentially one of the cornerstones of future networks. But the absence of standards makes it difficult to operate and control P2P-based networks. In the paper, we defined a structured global index as the basis for constructing future manageable, operable and scalable networks, and try to find a way to solve the inherent problems of current P2P networks, such as interaction in heterogeneous networks and multi-dimensional query issues. In the beginning of the paper, we give an introduction on current P2P networks and summarize the problems; and then we will describe the structured global index in detail; finally, we give a prospect on future operation network, and through two cases to illustrate how the problems are solved.
