Towards Scalable and Robust Overlay Networks
Overview Every peer-to-peer system is based on some overlay network connecting its peers. Many of the overlay network concepts proposed in the scientific community are based on the concept of virtual space. These designs are usually highly scalable, but they do not guarantee robustness against adversarial attacks, especially when considering open peer-to-peer systems. In these systems, determined adversaries may start both insider and outsider attacks in order to harm the overlay network as much as this is possible. This paper focuses on insider attacks in which the adversarial peers in the network perform join-leave attacks, and it will consider outsider attacks in which an adversary can perform a denial-of-service attack against any of the honest peers in the network.
