P2P example Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 3 What is Peer-To-Peer? (1/3) ? P2P is a class of applications that: ? Takes advantage of resources – (storage, CPU, etc,..) – available at the edges of the Internet. ? Because accessing these decentralized resources means operating in an environment of unstable connectivity and unpredictable IP addresses, P2P nodes must operate outside the DNS system and have significant or total autonomy from central servers. Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 4 What is Peer-To-Peer? (2/3) ? P2P computing is: ? The sharing of computer resources and services by direct exchange between systems. ? Peer-to-peer computing takes advantage of existing computing power and networking connectivity, allowing economical clients to leverage their collective power to benefit the entire enterprise. Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 5 What is Peer-To-Peer? (3/3) ? P2P computing is distributed computing with the following desirable properties: ? Resource Sharing ? Dual client/server role ? Decentralization/Autonomy ? Scalability ? Robustness/Self-Organization Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 6 A Brief History of P2P ? P2P is not a new technology ? It has existed since the Internet was taking form in the 1970s ? Recent changes in technology and the improved computing capability of desktops have brought about P2P’s revival on a larger scale ? P2P model-based application is confined to sharing files ? As a result of the increased demand for Web-base services, users felt the need to control, exchange, and share resources directly ? Meanwhile, in the late 1990s, PCs became increasingly powerful in terms of speed and processing power ? Software developers realized that they could put server software on individual PCs and initiate a direct two-way data flow between two peers ? Led to the revival of P2P ? Interestingly, the IP routing infrastructure is still P2P ? 1999-2000, Napster shows the true potential of P2P Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 7 Application Architecture ? Client-server ? P2P ? Hybrid Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 8 Client-server architecture server: ? always-on host ? permanent IP address ? server farms for scaling clients: ? communicate with server ? may be intermittently connected ? may have dynamic IP addresses ? do not communicate directly with each other Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 9 Pure P2P architecture ? no always on server ? arbitrary end systems directly communicate ? peers are intermittently connected and change IP addresses ? example: Gnutella Highly scalable But difficult to manage Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 10 Hybrid of client-server and P2P Napster ? File transfer P2P ? File search centralized: ? Peers register content at central server ? Peers query same central server to locate content Instant messaging ? Chatting between two users is P2P ? Presence detection/location centralized: ? User registers its IP address with central server when it comes online ? User contacts central server to find IP addresses of buddies Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 11 From the Client/Server Model to P2P ? P2P-based models decrease the dependency on the server ? Some P2P models do not requires servers ? No single point of failure problems in P2P ? Both models have advantages as well as disadvantages ? Another advantage of P2P is that companies can build collective computing powers ? P2P has shaken the boundaries of networking in terms of sharing resources and costs incurred on servers Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 12 Various P2P Models ? P2P models can be divided into the following categories: ? Pure P2P ? P2P with a simple discovery server ? P2P with discovery and lookup servers ? P2P with discovery, lookup, and content servers Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 13 Pure P2P Model ? Pure P2P model entirely depends on computers (clients in the C/S model) ? Peers find other connected peers on the network dynamiclly ? The entire communication occurs among connected peers without any assistance from a server ? Pure P2P models provide almost plug-and-play features for working with the Internet ? The only problem with the pure P2P model is finding peers Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 14 P2P with Simple Discovery Server ? Such P2P models do not actually involve a server ? The role of the server is restricted to providing the names of already connected peers to the incoming peer ? The server only assists peers by providing a list of connected peers ? Establishing connection and communication still remains the job of the peers ? This model increases the chances of finding a larger number of peers ? To download a resource, a peer has to approach each connected peer individually ? May need more time Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 15 P2P with a Discovery and Lookup Server ? The server is used to provide the list of connected peers along with the resources available ? This model reduces the burden on peers ? The server initiates communication between two peers ? Once again, the two connected peers establish communication, and perform various activities Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 16 P2P with a Discovery, Lookup, and Content Server ? The server dominates as in a typical client/server architecture ? Peers are not permitted to connect with each other directly ? All resources are stored in the database of the server ? Major disadvantage of this model is that the server slows down if too many requests come up simultaneously ? There is single point of failure in server Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 17 Existing P2P Applications ? Napster ? Gnutella Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 18 Centralized: Napster ? Napster used centralized servers to keep a catalog of available files. (3rd model) 1. User sends out request Napster searches central database Search request 2. The central server sends back a list of available files for download Search response Napster server user user user user 3. Requesting user downloads the file directly from another Napster user computer Download from user Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 19 Centralized: pros and cons ? pros ? More effective, comprehensive searches ? Access is controlled ? cons ? System has single points of entry; one fails could bring whole system down ? Broken links, out of date information. Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 20 Decentralized ? Every user acts as a client, a server or both (servent). ? User connects to framework and becomes a member of the community, allowing others to connect through him/her ? Users speak directly to other users with no intermediate or central authority ? Not one entity controls the information that passes through the community Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 21 GNUTELLA ? Gnutella works more or less like a pure P2P model ? Gnutella is downloaded and installed on the computer ? A message is sent to a computer, which passes it to the other computers ? Gnutella is a client-based software that has a file- sharing service and a mini search engine ? A machine which installed Gnutella can serve the requests of other users, and can find the desired content by sending requests ? Searching on Gnutella is almost like working with any other search engine ? Gnutella facilitates to share all kinds of files Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 22 GNUTELLA ? Key terms: ? Servent: client+server ? Horizon: a group of servents, not entire Gnutella ? Firewall: a shield that protects users inside the Gnutella ? Broadcasting: messaging service between servents in Gnutella ? Dropped Packets: packages of data that have been lost of dropped across the Gnutella nerwork ? Push Request: whenever a client behind the firewall is unable to download a file from a servent, the firewall send a request to the servent for uploading the file. This is called a push request. ? Port: default port number for Gnutella servents is 6346 Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 23 Example: GNUTELLA Wyv9 ?Dy ù ?

C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 26 Example: GNUTELLA Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 27 Napster vs GNUTELLA ? Napster + ? Gives material to its customer in the form of MP3 music files all across the continents. This is the key reason for its popularity. ? Provides a protective layer to its user due to the involvement of a server. Fully authenticated data travels on Napster network. ? User friendly and easy to download on your computer ? Napster - ? Server presence slows down or brings services to a halt in case of a technical problem ? Server can easily become the bottleneck ? Works for only MP3 files ? Facing copyright lawyers and the music industry Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 28 Napster vs GNUTELLA ? Gnutella + ? Truly decentralized network (pure P2P) ? No single point of failure ? Share all kinds of files ? Has a provision for redirecting the request, and supports HTTP protocol ? Gnutella - ? No provision for stopping the flood of requests ? Absence of the server makes user feel unsafe ? Encounters many bugs in its application, such as lost packets Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 29 Working of Various P2P Models ? The way an application works matters a lot ? A typical P2P-based application can be based on any of the models ? Some of the key features every model P2P application should have: ? Tracing out other peers ? Querying peers for required content ? Sharing content/resources with other peers Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 30 Tracing out Other Peers ? Essential feature of every P2P-based application ? Discovering other peers in pure P2P-based model ? Peers find others dynamically and communicate between themselves directly ? Affects security ? Discovering peers in P2P with simple discovery server-based model ? The database of the server stores the information related to all registered users ? Any query for searching a particular peer is processed by the server ? Enhanced security ? Availability of a large number of peers ? Single point of failure of server Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 31 Tracing out Other Peers ? Discovering peers in P2P with discovery and lookup server-based model ? Server provides a list of services as well as a list of peers ? All users are required to notify their presence to the server while they log in ? The server not only discovers other peers but also returns vital information regarding all logged in peers ? Reduces time consumption ? Discovering peers in P2P with discovery, lookup, and content server-based model ? This model traces out peers in response to a request much like the others ? The server maintains all the vital information and also furnishes the content to requesting peers ? Each peer is registered with the server ? The dependency on the server is therefore very high Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 32 Querying Peers for Required Content ? The user initiates the request for content ? Any application can make a request for content to a peer once a peer has been traced and located ? Only a peer can provide the content required ? A peer might not entertain the query the user presents or might not have the information the user seeks Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 33 Querying Peers for Required Content ? Querying peers for content in pure P2P-based model ? A peer passes its request for content to another peer (host peer) ? If the host peer contains the required information, it satisfies the query ? This model provides an interchangeability of role of peers (client or server) ? Querying peers for content in P2P with simple discovery server-based model ? This model uses a server to provide the list of logged-in peers to a requesting peer ? A requesting peer always gets a large number of peers of interest so it can communicate with them ? The requesting peer has to contact each peer in the list by itself and individually ? Processing time is large Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 34 Querying Peers for Required Content ? Querying peers for content in P2P with discovery and lookup server-based model ? The server not only maintains a list of registered users, but also process queries for the content ? The requesting peer passes its query to the server ? The searching path of a peer seeking content is thereby shortened ? Querying peers for content in P2P with discovery, lookup, and content server-based model ? The role of the server is the most significant ? The server not only processes the request but also procures the result and returns it back ? This method protects information from invasion Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 35 Sharing Contents with other Peers ? Sharing resources with peers in pure P2P-based model ? A peer sends a request for content to another peer ? Peer is the service provider which has shared resources ? It is the peer that has the requested information that opens the connection ? Sharing resources with peers in P2P with simple discovery server-based model ? A peer sends a request for content to the server ? The server returns the list of all connected peers ? The requesting peer approaches peers individually from this list for required content ? Once the requesting peer locates the content required, the server connect them ? The requesting peer downloads the required content from the network ? Uploading content cannot occur in this model Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 36 Sharing Contents with other Peers ? Sharing resources with peers in P2P with discovery and lookup server-based model ? The server doesn’t just furnish the list of peers ? The server carries out the search ? The requesting peer downloads the requested content from the network stream ? Uploading is also possible with this method ? Sharing resources with peers in P2P with discovery, lookup, and content server-based model ? This P2P model is almost like the C/S computing architecture ? All information is housed in the server ? The server processes the request, procures the result, and returns back ? Both uploading and downloading capable Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 37 Searching for Shared Resources ? Important to P2P applications ? Two distinct categories: ? Server-side searching ? A server acts as the reservoir of all information ? The greatest advantage is that the user need not worry about the location of a file ? Connection may be made of only to peers that possess required content ? May send an avalanche of requests and may slow down server’s services Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 38 Searching for Shared Resources ? Two distinct categories: ? Client-side searching ? Comes into play when peers are connected with each other and are communicating without the involvement of any other machine or server ? Client-side searching is limited to the user’s machine ? Faster than server-side searching Wyv9 ?Dy ù ? C Network Application Development P2P Application Development 39 Searching Technique in P2P Models ? Searching for content in pure P2P-based model ? Client-side searching ? Searching for content in P2P with simple discovery server-based model ? Client-side searching also ? Searching for content in P2P with discovery and lookup server-based model ? Both server-side and client-side searching can be adopted ? Searching for content in P2P with discovery, lookup, and content server-based model ? Only server-side searching can be adopted Wyv9 ?Dy ù ?
