Abstract

A novel load balance technique based on rumor mongering in structured P2P networks is presented in this paper to address the hotspot problem when using DHT P2P networks as the distributed index systems. The basic idea is making use of the periodical topology maintenance communications to piggyback and spread popular information by way of rumor mongering in background. It is shown in the paper that, this rumor mongering technique is able to spread information quickly among nodes in structured P2P networks without introducing additional communication overhead, which effectively reduces load on hotspots.
