Abstract

An efficient name resolution scheme is the cornerstone of any peer-to-peer network. The name resolution scheme proposed by Plaxton, Rajaraman, and Richa, which we hereafter refer to as the PRR scheme, is a scalable name resolution scheme that also provides provable locality properties. However, since PRR goes to extra lengths to provide these locality properties, it is somewhat complicated. In this paper, we propose a scalable, locality-aware, and fault-tolerant name resolution scheme which can be considered a simplified version of PRR. Although this new scheme does not provide as strong locality guarantees as PRR, it exploits locality heuristically yet effectively.
