Motivation and Outline of our Work
Goal: Efficiency increase
– Cloud-like performance
• Maintain high data availability
• Quick article delivery
– Low operational costs
• Users should help in sharing articles
• Donations of network resources
Approach
– Combine peer-to-peer (p2p) and centralized (cloud) architecture
– Cloud is used as backup and main hoster
• Much less traffic and costs
– Users participate in p2p overlay
• Lookup articles first there
• Provide downloaded articles to other peers

Background on Structured P2P Overlays
Nodes and objects use same ID
space
Each object is managed by a
node ( responsible)
Assignment based on IDs
Nodes maintain a topology /
routing structure to support:
Lookup:
getResponsibleNode(ID)
After that: e.g. data tranfer
H(„my data“)
= 3107
2207
2906

Model Overview

Cloud Computing vs. P2P Technology
Cloud and P2P
– Access to a distributed pool of
resources:
• Storage, bandwidth, computational
power
Cloud computing
– Resource providers: companies
– Controlled environment
• No (/minimal) churn
• Homogenous devices
– Selective centralized structures
– Mainly paid by usage
P2P systems
– Resource providers: user devices
– Uncontrolled environment
• Churn
• Heterogeneous devices
• Uncertainty / unpredictability
• Distributed access points

Symbiotic Coupling of P2P and Cloud Systems
Goal: High performance at low costs
– Performance: data availability, low delays
– Costs: traffic at cloud operator (linked to monetary expenses)
Our approach
– Main service (here Wikipedia) remains as main data pool
– Nodes install an (p2p) addon  p2p overlay
• Allows to share content of specific services
– Nodes visiting Wikipedia
• Join the p2p overlay and remain online for a while
– Articles are served and provided in p2p overlay
– If not available / initially: download from cloud

• Key Idea: References
• All downloaded Articles are published
• Cloud used as Fallback
Overview on the Architecture
Document space
– Article ID is hashed article name
– Responsible node maintains
list of articles providers
– Article providers
• Downloaded once the article
• Registered at resp. node
We use Chord
– Any other DHT also fine
– Needs to support
Key-based Routing

Operation: Initial Lookup for an Article

Operation: Further Lookup for an Article

Other Operations
Update
– Editing done on the Cloud
– Active vs. passive updates
• Active: Cloud actively informs node holding references
• Passive: Responsible peers periodically check for updates
– Frequency based on object popularity
– Old references are discarded
• They point to outdated content
– New reference table is built-up
Leave
– Leaving node informs all nodes holding references to it
– Can also be detected, but introduces delay

Evaluation
Main questions
– What is the efficiency gain?
– How much traffic is saved?
Approach
– Evaluation through simulation
Layer setup
– User mode: downscaled Wikipedia workload
– Application: document storage
– Overlay: Chord
– Network model:
• Global Network Positioning delay model
• OECD bandwidth model

► PeerfactSim.KOM (see www.peerfact.org)
Type
– Event-based simulator
– Written in Java
– Simulations up to 100K peers possible
– Focus on simulation of p2p systems on various layers
• User
• Application
• Services: monitoring, replication …
• Overlays
• Network models
Invitation to join the community
– Several universities use and extend the simulator actively
– Used and heavily extended in the project

Layered View
Layered Architecture
– Easy exchange of components
– Testing of new applications
– Testing of new mechanisms
Main idea
– Layers have several implementations
– Enables testing of individual layer
mechanisms
• on its own
• in combination with other layers

Conclusions and Future Work
Symbiotic p2p/cloud approach lowers operational costs
– Users take load and share content
– Traffic load on server was reduced to 27.6% in this experiment
– Websites with many users can benefit from p2p support
– WebP2P – browser-based p2p via peerjs, nodejs, etc. is coming
– User devices are powerful, load can be handled „for free“
Future Work
– Investigate WebP2P approach
• Browser plugin to create p2p overlay
– Create p2p framework for social networks
• Use capacity of user devices to host a social network
• See http://www.p2pframework.com
– Further extend PeerfactSim.KOM – the p2p system simulator
• See http://www.peerfact.org
