Design a Novel Scheme for Dual-Stack Cloud File Service Discovery Based on Distributed Hash Table

Cloud services attract some attention in recent years, the information connection devices of organizations or enterprises with one another distributed around the world using networking systems. Cloud services also provide variety services for users, including virtual hosting services, storage services and web application services, etc. Because of the rise of cloud computing, users can directly enjoy the benefits of distributed computing. The high throughput of computing power and large storage space can be ubiquitous when users connect to the Internet. Two important elements behind clouds computing include distributed computing and peer-to-peer network. However, the huge numbers of information devices today bring forth some new problems. The lack of IPv4 protocol addresses is one of the serious problems. Therefore, the IPv6 protocol was proposed, and during the transitional period form pure IPv4 to pure IPv6, IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist in the Internet. To link independent dual-stack p2p networks around the world, we hereby propose a mechanism to improve the service discovery in dual-stack cloud file service in hope of decreasing the count of protocol translation so as to improve the efficiency of the bandwidth and load balance.
