Abstract

Partially decentralized P2P (PDP2P) networks are a subset of P2P networks. Roles of nodes are different according to their functionality in the network. Nowadays, there are many PDP2P networks, with different characteristics. It is necessary to find a way to join those autonomous networks. We have not found any interconnection system, so in this article we present a new hierarchical system for interconnecting peers from different PDP2P networks. It will allow sharing data, content and resources between networks. It can be employed between sensor networks, P2P networks, and generally, overlay networks. Oldest superpeers or brokers with higher bandwidth in the PDP2P network will belong to higher layers. The topology will change as a function of the available processing capacity and the available number of connections with neighbor nodes. We also describe the interconnection system and its management. Simulations results for some topologies are shown.
