Abstract

In this paper, we propose a p2p network based location search algorithm which can be used to establish connections in Internet Telephony. By using the location search algorithm, the caller can identify the peer it is calling. The algorithm is based upon the concept of gradient search and is applicable upon unstructured networks. It is inspired by a biological phenomenon called haptotaxis. The algorithm performs at par with DHT-based location search algorithms, however it is much more robust than such structured algorithms. We also present some initial analysis to explain the reason behind the superiority of the algorithm.
