Abstract

File sharing is among the most important features of the today´s Internet-based applications. Most of such applications are server-based approaches inheriting thus the disadvantages of centralized systems. Advances in P2P systems are allowing to share huge quantities of data and files in a distributed way. In this paper, we present extensions of JXTA protocols to support file sharing in P2P systems with the aim to overcome limitations of server-mediated approaches. Our proposal is validated in practice by deploying a P2P file sharing system in a real P2P network. The empirical study revealed the benefits and drawbacks of using JXTA protocols for P2P file sharing systems.
