Abstract: | File replication is a widely used technique for high performance in peer-to-peer content delivery networks. A file replication technique should be efficient and at the same time facilitates efficient file consistency maintenance. However, most traditional methods do not consider nodes’ available capacity and physical location in file replication, leading to high overhead for both file replication and consistency maintenance. This paper presents a proactive low-overhead file replication scheme, namely Plover. By making file replicas among physically close nodes based on nodes’ available capacities, Plover not only achieves high efficiency in file replication but also supports low-cost and timely consistency maintenance. It also includes an efficient file query redirection algorithm for load balancing between replica nodes. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of Plover in comparison with other file replication schemes. It dramatically reduces the overhead of both file replication and consistency maintenance compared to other schemes. In addition, it yields significant improvements in reduction of overloaded nodes. |
