Brief Intro to Peer-to-Peer Computing (1)
P2P computing = power by accumulating distributed resources
(CPU cycles, disk space, …)
vs
Client / Server- Centralized („one machine“)- Bottleneck- Single Point of Failure- …
Peer-to-Peer- Decentralized („all machines“)- Scalable- Efficient- …

Brief Intro to Peer-to-Peer Computing (2)
• Examples:
- computing power (Folding@Home, …)
- file sharing (eMule, Kangoo, …)
- internet telephony (Skype, …)
- media streaming (Swistry, …)
file sharing
distributed computations
Swistry (live media streaming)

Churn (1)
• But: unlike server, peers are transient!– Machines under control of individual users
– E.g., just connecting to download one file
– Membership changes are called churn
• Successful P2P systems have to cope with churn• (i.e., guarantee correctness, efficiency, etc.)!
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 5
Churn (2)
• Dynamic resources: A challenge in P2P computing!
• Churn characteristics:– Depends on application (Skype vs. eMule vs. …)– But: There may be dozens of membership changes per second!– Peers may crash without notice!
• How can peers collaborate in spite of churn?
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 6
Churn (3)
• Churn is important, as it threatens “advantages of P2P computing”!
a lot of churn
• We have to actively maintain P2P systems!
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 7
Our Paper…
Peer degree, network diameter, …
„adversary“ non-stop attacks weakest part
(system „never fully repaired, but always fully functional“)
… presents techniques to:
- … build and provably maintain P2P systems with desirable properties…
- … in spite of ongoing worst-case membership changes.
• Unfortunately, only few P2P systems have been analyzed under churn!
• Our paper…

Model for Dynamics
• Churn = possibly concurrent membership changes, at any time!
• We assume worst-case perspective: Adversary ADV(J,L)– i.e., joins and leaves may take place at the weakest spot of the network
• Synchronous model: time divided into rounds (e.g., max round trip time)
time
ADV(J,L): In each round, at most J peers may joins
and at most L peers leave (crash).

Topology Maintenance
• An efficient P2P topology under churn:
π1 π2
• Almost impossible to maintain the hypercube! – How does peer 1 know that it should replace peer 2?– How does it get there when there are concurrent joins and leaves?– …
• Is there a more robust topology but• with same small degree and diameter?
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 15
General Recipe for Robust Topologies
1. Take a graph with desirable properties- Low diameter, low peer degree, etc.
2. Replace vertices by a set of peers
3. Maintain it:
a. Permanently run a peer distribution algorithm
which ensures that all vertices have roughly the same amount
of peers (“token distribution algorithm”).
b. Estimate the total number of peers in the system and change
“dimension of topology” accordingly
(“information aggregation algorithm” and “scaling algorithm”).
Resulting structure has similar properties as original graph
(e.g., connectivity, degree, …), but is also maintainable under churn!
There is always at least one peer per node (but not too many either).

The Pancake Graph (1)
• A robust system with degree and diameter O(log n / loglog n): the pancake graph– E.g., Papadimitriou & Gates!
• Pancake of dimension d:– d! nodes represented by unique permutation {l1, …, ld} of set {1,…,d}
– Two nodes u and v are adjacent iff u is a prefix-inversion of v
4-dimensional pancake: 1234 4321
2134
3214
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 19
The Pancake Graph (2)
• Properties– Node degree Θ (log n / loglog n)– Diameter Θ (log n / loglog n)– … where n is the total number of nodes– A factor loglog n better than hypercube!– But: difficult graph (diameter unknown!)
No other graph can have a smaller
degree and a smaller diameter!
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 20
Contribution
• Using peer distribution and information aggregation algorithms…
• … on the simulated pancake topology, we can construct:
• a peer-to-peer system (“distributed hash table”) with– Peer degree and lookup / network diameter in Θ (log n / loglog n)– Robustness to ADV(Θ (log n / loglog n), Θ (log n / loglog n))– No data is ever lost!
Asymptotically optimal!
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 23
Basic Components
• Peer Distribution Algorithm– Balance peers between neighboring nodes
– One (pancake-) dimension after the other!
• Information Aggregation Algorithm– Exploit recursive structure of pancake
– Aggregate „sub-pancakes“ with increasing order
Both happens concurrently to ongoing churn!
If fast enough, pancake is maintained!
Always at least one peer per node!
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 24
Internals (1)
• How are peers connected in the simulated topology?
• Idea:
Clique Clique
Matching
• Problem:- There are up to Θ ((log n / loglog n)2) many peers in each node
- Clique would render peer degree too large!
Inside node, peers have to form a grid!
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 25
Internals (2)
• Solution:
Grid
Matching
Grid
• Each peer is connected to all peers which are either
in the same row or column
• Degree is OK now, and still robust enough to churn!
Stefan Schmid, ETH Zurich @ IWQoS 2006 26
Internals (3)
• “Distributed Hash Table”:
- Stores data at nodes
- But on which peers of node of given ID?
- On just one is bad in dynamic enviroment!
• All?
- Possible!
- But much data movement during peer distribution.
• Better idea:
- Peers of a node fall into two categories: Protons and Electrons - Protons = „core peers“, store data, are „seldom“ used during token distribution
- Electrons = „peripheral peers“, do not store data, are used for balancing
- Make sure that there are always enough protons (no data loss)!

Conclusion
• Contribution: A scheme to maintain quality of a peer-to-peer system in spite of worst-case membership changes.
– Ingredients: “base graph”, token distribution & information aggregation algorithm– Proofs possible!
• Simulated graph can have similar
properties as base graph.– Degree, diameter, etc.
– May require some additional thinking, though! (e.g., grid)
• A peer-to-peer system with degree and diameter
in O(log n/loglog n) which tolerates O(log n/loglog n)
joins and leaves per round. – Better than often-used hypercube graph!– But: difficult graph! (e.g., dimension change)
• Open questions– How to coordinate dynamic peers or resources: An exciting field of research! – E.g.: Self-stabilization, dirty leaves, etc.
