Abstract

The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) approaches utilize the passive means of delivering large amounts of content due to the ease of content delivery and small amount of effort required for file transmission and failure control by the file provider. However, P2P methods incur network congestion due to the large number of uncontrolled connections established by those retrieving content. Additionally, P2P methods potentially stop file providers from exchanging data with other devices because of congested outbound traffic. Therefore, existing P2P approaches are infeasible for large-scale organizations as a congested uncontrolled network is not ideal in a business environment. Related studies demonstrated that the active method for content can minimize outbound congestion for a provider but it needs the fault tolerance. This study presents a novel application called Enterprise Peer-to-Peer (EP2P), which integrates passive and active approaches. Using EP2P, the outbound traffic from a sender on an Intranet can be controlled efficiently, because the transmission between a provider and many receivers can be changed from passive to active on necessary. Therefore, we suggest organizations use EP2P for the delivery of content.
