Towards a Common API for Structured Peer-to-Peer Overlays

Frank Dabek and Ben Zhao and Peter Druschel and John Kubiatowicz and Ion Stoica

Abstract

In this paper, we describe an ongoing effort to define common APIs for structured peer-to-peer overlays and the key abstractions that can be built on them. In doing so, we hope to facilitate independent innovation in overlay protocols, services, and applications, to allow direct experimental comparisons, and to encourage application development by third parties. We provide a snapshot of our efforts and discuss open problems in an effort to solicit feedback from the research community.
