An Interest-Based P2P File Sharing System

Efficient file query is important to the overall performance of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing systems. In this paper, we introduce an interest-based P2P file sharing system based on a structured P2P. It groups peers based on both interest and proximity. The proposed system is able to support sophisticated routing and clustering strategies based on the file attribute and topology used. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed system in comparison with another P2P file sharing system. It dramatically reduces the overhead and yields significant improvements in file query efficiency.
