Peer-to-Peer Systems and Applications

Peer-to-Peer Systems and Applications edited by Ralf Steinmetz, Klaus Wehrle.

Starting with Napster and Gnutella, peer-to-peer systems became an integrated part of the Internet fabric attracting millions of users. According to recent evaluations, peer-to-peer traffic now exceeds Web traffic, once the dominant traffic on the Internet. While the most popular peer-to-peer applic...
