Abstract

As a new distributed computing paradigm, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and systems have attracted more and more attentions in recent years. This study aims at proposing and constructing a new information resource sharing system based on the P2P paradigm. In this paper, we focus on solving and improving the hit rate and search speed problems that exist in Gnutella, one of the most popular P2P file sharing systems. We discuss how to introduce XML to describe the attributes and properties of each shared file and integrate an embedded database engine to increase the search speed. Preliminary experiment results have demonstrated that the approach proposed in this study is efficient and useful.
