P2P Networking And Applications

0.0

Originally popularized by unlicensed online music services such as Napster. P2P networking has recently emerged as a viable multimillion dollar business model for the distribution of academic and clinical information, telecommunications, and social networking. Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications, written at anaccessible level for any reader familiar with fundamental Internet protocols, explains the conceptual operations and architecture underlying basic P2P systems using well-known commercial systems as models. The book delineates the latest research and provides not only a sophisticated understanding of current systems, but also the means to improve upon these systems with innovations for better performance, security, and flexibility. It is a valuable starting point and an important reference for practitioners employing this new and lucrative technology. The authors present a real world networking scenario the way the reader sees them in a device-agnostic world without endorsing one platform over the other. Key Features Uses well-known commercial P2P systems as models, thus demonstrating real-world applicability Discusses how current research trends in wireless networking. high-def content. DRM. etc., will intersect with P2P, allowing readers to account for futuredevelopments in their designs. Provides online access to the Overlay Weaver P2P emulator, an open source tool that supports a number of peer-to-peer applications with which readers can practice.
