SP2MS: A MANet-Based P2P Service

Applications using P2P as an Overlay network in MANet (P2M) are very unstable in terms of MANet interconnections and P2P churn. MANet-based P2P applications usually create a considerable overhead on the P2P consumer due to the control of the end-to-end communication with the peer that provides the shared content. Moreover, traditional P2P networks offer polluted contents wasting the device´s scarce resources. This paper proposes a service that minimizes the P2M environment instabilities for mobile devices and reduces the probability of downloading corrupt contents. A prototype was developed to show that SP2MS can be easily integrated into the traditional P2P infrastructure.
