Abstract :
We present an architecture for content-based aggregation in peer-to-peer filesharing networks. It is designed to significantly reduce the amount of nodes that have to be queried, by introducing a distributed index into the system. This index allows content to be located in a peer-to-peer network without using broadcast-style techniques. We also show how this index can be created and maintained in a decentralized self-organizing fashion
