AutoProc: An automatic proactive replication scheme for P2P storage

Due to the prevalence of peer departures, P2P storage systems need to constantly generate replicas for high durability. However, few existing systems are able to select the right replication rate that balances replication cost and durability, e.g., minimizing replication cost without threatening the durability target. In this paper, we propose a method called AutoProc to automate the replication process in P2P storage systems. AutoProc employs two key techniques to enable cost-effective replication: correct...
