Load Balancing White Papers
Effective Load-Balancing of Peer-to-Peer Systems
Overview The growing popularity of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems has necessitated the need for managing huge volumes of data efficiently to ensure acceptable user response times. Dynamically changing popularities of data items and skewed user query patterns in P2P systems may cause some of the peers to become bottlenecks, thereby resulting in severe load imbalance and consequently increased user response times. An effective load-balancing mechanism becomes a necessity in such cases. Such load-balancing can be achieved by efficient online data migration/replication. While much work has been done to harness the huge computing resources of P2P systems for high-performance computing and scientific applications, issues concerning load-balancing with a view towards faster access to data for normal users have not received adequate attention.
