Abstract

Unstructured overlays form an important class of peer-to-peer networks, notably for content-based searching algorithms. Being able to build overlays with low diameter, that are resilient to unpredictable joins and leaves, in a totally distributed manner is a challenging task. Random graphs exhibit such properties, and have been extensively studied in literature. Cyclon algorithm is an inexpensive gossip-based membership management protocol described in detail in [1] that meets these requirements.
