  • Peer-To-Peer Software and Use of NRC Computers to Process SUNSI Frequently Asked Questions
    Peer-to-Peer Software and Use of NRC Computers to Process SUNSI Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is peer-to-peer software? Peer-to-peer, or P2P, file-sharing systems provide users with the ability to share files on their computers with other people through the Internet. The most popular P2P software is free and is used to share music, movies, and games, and for Instant Messaging. 2. Why is P2P a problem? P2P software provides the capability for users to access files on other users’ computers beyond those intended for sharing (i.e., music). For example, if you have P2P software on your computer and you also do your own tax preparation on your computer and store a copy of the tax return on your hard drive, other people anywhere in the world may be able to access the files containing your tax return. 3. Have sensitive government files been obtained through the use of P2P? Yes. There are documented incidents where P2P software was used to obtain sensitive government information when peer-to-peer software was installed on a government or home computer. 4. Is someone obtaining sensitive information the only threat? No. P2P can also make it easier for computer viruses and other malicious software to be installed on your computer without your knowledge. 5. Have other Federal agencies adopted similar policies? Yes, other Federal agencies have adopted similar policies. The Office of Management and Budget wrote the requirements for government-wide adoption in 2004. Additionally, due to the increased awareness of the P2P threat that has arisen since 2004, DOT, DHS, DOE, DOD, and other agencies have issued specific P2P policies.

    TRANSFERENCIA O DISTRIBUCIÓN DE ARCHIVOS ENTRE IGUALES (peer-to-peer) Características, Protocolos, Software, Luis Villalta Márquez Configuración Peer-to-peer Una red peer-to-peer, red de pares, red entre iguales, red entre pares o red punto a punto (P2P, por sus siglas en inglés) es una red de computadoras en la que todos o algunos aspectos funcionan sin clientes ni servidores fijos, sino una serie de nodos que se comportan como iguales entre sí. Es decir, actúan simultáneamente como clientes y servidores respecto a los demás nodos de la red. Las redes P2P permiten el intercambio directo de información, en cualquier formato, entre los ordenadores interconectados. Peer-to-peer Normalmente este tipo de redes se implementan como redes superpuestas construidas en la capa de aplicación de redes públicas como Internet. El hecho de que sirvan para compartir e intercambiar información de forma directa entre dos o más usuarios ha propiciado que parte de los usuarios lo utilicen para intercambiar archivos cuyo contenido está sujeto a las leyes de copyright, lo que ha generado una gran polémica entre defensores y detractores de estos sistemas. Las redes peer-to-peer aprovechan, administran y optimizan el uso del ancho de banda de los demás usuarios de la red por medio de la conectividad entre los mismos, y obtienen así más rendimiento en las conexiones y transferencias que con algunos métodos centralizados convencionales, donde una cantidad relativamente pequeña de servidores provee el total del ancho de banda y recursos compartidos para un servicio o aplicación. Peer-to-peer Dichas redes son útiles para diversos propósitos.

  • Title: P2P Networks for Content Sharing
    Title: P2P Networks for Content Sharing Authors: Choon Hoong Ding, Sarana Nutanong, and Rajkumar Buyya Grid Computing and Distributed Systems Laboratory, Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, The University of Melbourne, Australia (chd, sarana, raj)@cs.mu.oz.au ABSTRACT Peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies have been widely used for content sharing, popularly called “file-swapping” networks. This chapter gives a broad overview of content sharing P2P technologies. It starts with the fundamental concept of P2P computing followed by the analysis of network topologies used in peer-to-peer systems. Next, three milestone peer-to-peer technologies: Napster, Gnutella, and Fasttrack are explored in details, and they are finally concluded with the comparison table in the last section. 1. INTRODUCTION Peer-to-peer (P2P) content sharing has been an astonishingly successful P2P application on the Internet. P2P has gained tremendous public attention from Napster, the system supporting music sharing on the Web. It is a new emerging, interesting research technology and a promising product base. Intel P2P working group gave the definition of P2P as "The sharing of computer resources and services by direct exchange between systems". This thus gives P2P systems two main key characteristics: • Scalability: there is no algorithmic, or technical limitation of the size of the system, e.g. the complexity of the system should be somewhat constant regardless of number of nodes in the system. • Reliability: The malfunction on any given node will not effect the whole system (or maybe even any other nodes). File sharing network like Gnutella is a good example of scalability and reliability.

    Content Sharing and Distribution in Wireless Community Networks by Amr Alasaad B.Sc., King Saud University, 2000 M.Sc., The University of Southern California, 2005 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Electrical and Computer Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2013 c Amr Alasaad 2013 Abstract We consider the problem of content sharing and distribution in a wireless mesh community network (WMCN). Due to the community oriented nature of such networks, and with the evolution of advanced mobile computing devices; it is projected that the demand for content sharing and distribution in wireless community networks will dramatically increase in the coming years. A popular scheme for content sharing and distribution is through the use of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology. This dissertation studies the technical challenges involved while deploying P2P applications over WMCNs. We advance the thesis that support from a number of infrastructure nodes in a wire- less community network to P2P applications running on top of the wireless community network such as P2P content sharing and P2P media streaming, results in significant performance enhancement. Such support from infrastructure nodes benefits from aware- ness of the underlying network topology (i.e., information available at relay nodes about the true physical connections between nodes in the network). Cross-layer information exchange between the P2P system and the WMCN opens the door to developing efficient algorithms and schemes for P2P communications that account for the specific features of WMCNs (e.g., contention for wireless medium between neighbouring nodes and traffic in- terference).

In order to estimate a possible economical influence, it seems to be feasible to analyse the content of those systems. Firstly, the paper on hand describes theoretical P2P architectures in order to shed light on the possible configuration of file sharing networks. Secondly, we describe which technical means are necessary for an automated analysis of popular applications like Gnutella or Kazaa and how this analysis is conducted.
