Abstract

The use of peer-to-peer networks has increaseddramatically in recent years. As the power of homecomputers and Internet access speeds increase, weenvisage that an increasingly diverse set of applicationswill seek to make use of the growing pool of resourcesavailable around the edge of the network. We suggest thatexisting peer-to-peer networks are unable to cater for thediverse demands of future applications. We discuss howadaptation may be used to improve the QoS of existingpeer-to-peer networks and introduce an innovativenetwork structure with inherent support for multiplelevels of adaptation.
