They’re in PowerPoint form so you see the animations; and can add, modify, and delete slides (including this one) and slide content to suit your needs. They obviously represent a lot of work on our part. In return for use, we only ask the following: § If you use these slides (e.g., in a class) that you mention their source (after all, we’d like people to use our book!) § If you post any slides on a www site, that you note that they are adapted from (or perhaps identical to) our slides, and note our copyright of this material.

Application Layer 2-72 Distributed Hash Table (DHT) DHT: a distributed P2P database v database has (key, value) pairs; examples: v § key: social security number; value: human name § key: movie title; value: IP address Distribute the (key, value) pairs over the (millions of peers) v a peer queries DHT with key v § DHT returns values that match the key v peers can also insert (key, value) pairs DHTs are used, for example, in BitTorrent’s distributed tracker. The key is a torrent identifier, and the value is the set of IP addresses of the hosts currently in the torrent. Application 2-73 Q: how to assign keys to peers? v central issue: § assigning (key, value) pairs to peers. v basic idea: § convert each key to an integer § Assign integer to each peer § put (key,value) pair in the peer that is closest to the key Application 2-74 DHT identifiers v assign integer identifier to each peer in range [0,2n-1] for some n. § each identifier represented by n bits. v require each key to be an integer in same range v to get integer key, hash original key § e.g., key = hash(”Led Zeppelin IV”) § this is why its is referred to as a distributed ”hash” table Application 2-75 Assign keys to peers v rule: assign key to the peer that has the closest ID. v convention in lecture: closest is the immediate successor of the key. v e.g., n=4; peers: 1,3,4,5,8,10,12,14; § key = 13, then successor peer = 14 § key = 15, then successor peer = 1 Application 2-76 Circular DHT (1) 1 3 15 4 12 5 10 8 each peer only aware of immediate successor and predecessor. v “overlay network” v Application 2-77 Circular DHT (1) O(N) messages on average to resolve query, when there I am are N peers 0001 Who’s responsible for key 1110 ? 0011 1111 1110 0100 1110 1110 1100 1110 Define closest as closest successor 1110 0101 1110 1010 1000 Application 2-78 Circular DHT with shortcuts 1 3 Who’s responsible for key 1110? 15 4 12 5 10 v v v 8 each peer keeps track of IP addresses of predecessor, successor, and short cuts. reduced from 6 to 2 messages. possible to design shortcuts so O(log N) neighbors, O(log N) messages in query Application 2-79 Peer churn handling peer churn: 1 vpeers 3 15 4 12 5 10 may come and go (churn) veach peer knows address of its two successors veach peer periodically pings its two successors to check aliveness vif immediate successor leaves, choose next successor as new immediate successor 8 example: peer 5 abruptly leaves vpeer 4 detects peer 5 departure; makes 8 its immediate successor; asks 8 who its immediate successor is; makes 8’s immediate successor its second successor. vwhat if peer 13 wants to join?
