P2P networks Autumn 2021 5/115 Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer Client-Server Systems Client-Server Architecture I. A client-server system comprises of two types of software modules: • server module • one centralized instance • but might be internally replicated for scaling purposes • passively listens for connections from clients • multiple client requests may be handled: • sequentially • concurrently (multithreaded servers) • by several replicated servers at different locations 9 pending clients' requests may be queued up • servers are assumed to be reliable, often running in a data centre (dedicated/virtualized hardware) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 6/ Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer Client-Server Systems Client-Server Architecture I. • client module o multiple distributed instances, possibly controlled by different users • actively initiates a connection to a server • no direct communication between clients • clients need to know the network address and port number of a server • service discovery is typically performed through client configuration • clients may be unreliable without affecting overall system stability • examples of client-server systems: • web server/web browsers • web server/client applications (web services) • SSH/Telnet/FTP server/clients • NFS/SMB server/clients Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 7/115 Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer P2P Systems P2P Architecture • a P2P system consists of many identical software modules (peers) running on different computers 9 peers communicate directly with each other • each peer is a server as well as a client: 9 provides services to other peers • requests services from other peers • unlike dedicated servers, peers tend to be unreliable 9 service discovery is more complicated since there are many servers continuously appearing and disappearing at different network locations • provide natural scalability due to multiple servers • can work without allocating dedicated server machinery Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 8/115 Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer P2P Systems Communication Structure Comparison Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer P2P Systems Peer-to-Peer Systems Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are distributed systems consisting of interconnected nodes able to self-organize into network topologies with the purpose of sharing resources such as content, CPU cycles, storage and bandwidth, capable of adapting to failures and accommodating transient populations of nodes while maintaining acceptable connectivity and performance, without requiring the intermediation or support of a global centralized server or authority. Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 10/115 Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer P2P Systems P2P Properties • Symmetric role • each participating node typically acts both as a server and as a client • however, in many designs this property is relaxed by the use of special peer roles ("super peers" or "relay peers") • Scalability • P2P systems can scale to thousands of nodes o the P2P protocols cannot require "all-to-all" communication or coordination • Heterogeneity • a P2P system is (usually) heterogeneous in terms of the hardware capacity of the nodes • Distributed control (Decentralization) • ideally, no centralized structures should exist in P2P systems • Dynamism • the topology of P2P systems may change very fast due to joining of new nodes or leaving existing ones • Resource sharing • each peer contributes system resources (computing power, data, bandwidth, presence, etc.) to the operation of the P2P system • Self-organization ^^^^^^^^^Jieorc^niTa^on^of the P2P svstem increases over time nsincr local knowledge Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

P2P networks Autumn 2021 12/115 Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer Comparison Client-Server vs. Peer-to-peer Comparison I. The systems can be compared from several points of view: • Ease of development • C-S is more established and familiar than P2P • C-S exhibits simple interaction patterns for clients and server, while P2P involves more complex interaction patterns between peers • Manageability 9 it is easier to maintain a centralized server in a C-S environment than keeping a track of and maintaining several distributed peers in a P2P system • Scalability • C-S scalability is limited by fixed server hardware, though scaling can be achieved through load balancing over multiple servers at increased cost • P2P is scalable by nature, since as the number of peers grows, so does the "server" capacity Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 13/115 Client-Server vs. Peer-to-Peer Comparison Client-Server vs. Peer-to-peer Comparison II. • Security • responsibility for the C-S security lies within the server, which is centrally hosted in a secure environment • responsibility for P2P security is distributed across peers in different administrative domains, some of which might be compromised • Reliability • the C-S's reliability is achieved through the use of multiple redundant servers (possibly hosted at different locations) with automatic fail-over, at additional cost • with P2P, resilience comes free of charge, since multiple peers are usually able to provide the same service in the case that some peers fail Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

P2P networks Autumn 2021 16/115 P2P Architecture Base Overlay Layer I. • the base overlay layer is responsible for: • discovering new peers • maintaining the P2P overlay (virtual) network • forwarding messages between peers • the overlay network is a virtual network laid over the "physical" network (e.g. TCP/IP) • overlay network "wires" are implemented using underlying network facilities (e.g. TCP connections or UDP messages) • overlay network distance is measured in the number of hops from peer to peer • peers, that are distant in the physical network may be neighbours in the overlay network, and vice-versa • the performance of the P2P system is influenced by the structure of the overlay network Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

P2P networks Autumn 2021 21/115 P2P Architecture Middleware Layer • the middleware layer facilitates P2P application development by hiding overlay and service discovery issues • it provides access to the services/resources provided by peers, and may be responsible for functions such as: • security: controlling access to services/ resources • service/resource discovery: searching and indexing services/resources distributed across peers • peer groups: coordinating peers that provide or consume a particular service/resource • may provide fault tolerance and persistent state o e.g., JXTA (Java P2P platform), BOINC, P2, Windows P2P Networking, Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 22/115 Generic P2P Architecture P2P Architecture Application Layer • the middleware services can be used to build complete applications: • file sharing - e.g., Napster, Gnutella, Kazaa, . .. • routing protocols • instant messaging, videoconferencing applications - e.g., Skype • distributed file systems • distributed backup systems • distributed computing - e.g., grid computing, SETKDHome, ... • and many many more. . . Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 23/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery • a P2P network is typically a "virtual" network overlaid on an existing network (e.g. the Internet) • the overlay is used for indexing and peer discovery and make the P2P system independent from the physical network topology • content is typically exchanged directly over the underlying IP network • a new peer needs to discover at least one existing peer in order to join a P2P network • network location information: IP address, listening port number, etc. • if no peers are found immediately, the new peer either • passively waits for new participants, or • proactively looks for potential new participants • it is hard to locate existing peers in a large network such as the Internet Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 24/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery Initial Peer Discovery I. Static configuration: 9 each peer is preconfigured with a list of the network locations (IP address and port number) of every other peer in the system 9 on startup (and possibly periodically) each peer attempts to connect to some other peers in its list, some of which may be running • due to the manual configuration, this is only suitable for P2P networks with a small number of peers which do not change frequently 9 can alternatively be used to initially contact a small number of "well-known" peers that are guaranteed to be online Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 25/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery Initial Peer Discovery II. Centralized directory: • each peer is preconfigured with the network location of a centralized server • each peer contacts the server on startup (and possibly periodically) to: • obtain an updated list of currently active peers • indicate to the server that it is active 9 most subsequent communications bypass the server, using the P2P overlay network to route messages instead • occasionally, other services are also provided by the server (e.g. a list of files hosted by each peer) o peers may go offline • cleanly, the peer's shutdown procedure contacts the server to remove it from the active peer list • without warning (crash, network or power failure), making the server's active peer list obsolete (it's necessary to use active peer list item expiry and periodic liveness checks) • usually, a peer only needs to connect to a few peers on the overlay network • the other members can be discovered by the member propagation techniques • centralized directory server is a single point of failure Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 26/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery Initial Peer Discovery III. Member Propagation Techniques with Initial Member Discovery: 9 in general, it is not necessary to discover all of the participating members in the network • in many cases, discovering a subset of the participating members is adequate • after discovering just one existing peer, information about the rest of the P2P network can be obtained from it 9 if each peer maintains a full member list —>* easy for any new peer to obtain a full member list from any other peer • alternatively each peer can maintain a partial member list, replacing offline peers with new ones from neighbouring peers' lists Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 27/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery - Overlay Network Topology • intermediate peers in the overlay network forward messages between indirectly connected peers • the overlay topology significantly affects P2P system performance 9 two key properties determine the effectiveness of the overlay mesh: • Diameter: longest distance between any two peers (overlay hops or latency) • should be minimized • Average Degree: average number of links per peer (high AD increases message load, but improves fault tolerance) • should be kept at a moderate level • it is necessary to avoid linear formations and splits in the mesh • common topologies: • Random Mesh • Tiered • Ordered Lattice Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 28/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery - Overlay Network Topology Random Mesh • each peer discovers a number of other peers and attempts to connect to them indiscriminately • this (hopefully) results in a random structure with uniform degree • distant peers on underlying network could be overlay neighbours o solution: connect to peers with lowest latency • random mesh is suitable for linking a large number of peers with uniform resources and connectivity 9 search message flooding can easily be used to discover resources/services on other peers • but generates a lot of traffic Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

P2P networks Autumn 2021 30/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery - Overlay Network Topology Tiered Structure • peers are ordered into tiers of a tree depending on their advertised resources and connectivity (e.g. Kazaa's nodes and supernodes, 2-tier) • tier 0 is the foundation tier containing (possibly well-known) reliable peers with adequate resources and message forwarding capacity • at each tier, every peer is linked to a number of peers of a lower tier and forwards messages up and down • poorly-resourced leaf peers only link to their 'super-peer' and do not forward other peers' messages; they are omitted from peer discovery • the system needs to recover from peers leaving abruptly and disrupting the tree structure • the hierarchy may be optimized to follow the underlying network's structure (e.g. P2P video streaming) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 31/115 Generic P2P Architecture Overlays and Peer Discovery Overlays and Peer Discovery - Overlay Network Topology Ordered Lattice a in a two dimensional lattice, peers organize themselves in a rectangular grid: • each node maintains direct connections to 4 neighboring peers (except edge peers) • peers on opposite edges can also link to form a torus • can be extended to n dimensions • messages are routed parallel to the lattice axes a peer additions and deletions must be handled on the fly, possibly distorting the structure • insertions and deletions of nodes imply that different rows/columns have different numbers of members between themselves • peer coordinates in a multi-dimensional lattice may be used as a key to locate resources in content addressable networks (CAN) 9 sometimes also denoted as Distributed Hash Table (DHT) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

P2P networks Autumn 2021 33/115 Service/Resource Discovery • a peer must advertise its services to enable their discovery and subsequent use by other peers 9 e.g., in file sharing applications, the "service" is a shared file/block • service discovery is itself a service • centralized - a server is asked for service location o Napster, UDDI for web services • pure P2P - a request is flooded or hashed through the peers • flooding, overlay multicast, CAN/DHT • when a search message reaches a matching advertisement on a peer, the server's location is returned to the originator • actual service messages are either routed through the overlay or directly via underlying network by the application • can be optimized by caching advertisements/data (e.g. file/block) along search/return path on the overlay Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

Generally, P2P systems can be divided into two main categories: • centralized - one or more central servers are available providing various services • decentralized - no central servers are employed • they have to consider two main design issues: • the structure - flat (single tier) vs. hierarchical (multitier) • the overlay topology - unstructured vs. structured • besides these two, hybrid P2P systems also exist • they combine both centralized and decentralized approach to leverage the advantages of both architectures Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

Centralized P2P Systems • combine the features of centralized (client-server) and decentralized systems • like a centralized system, there are one or more central servers, which help peers to locate their desired resources or act as task scheduler to coordinate actions among them • a peer sends messages to the central server to determine the addresses of peers that contain the desired resources • like a decentralized system, once a peer has its information/data, it can communicate directly with other peers • i.e., without going through the server anymore o drawbacks: • susceptible to malicious attacks and single point of failure • a bottleneck for a large number of peers (performance degradation) • lacks scalability and robustness • examples: • scientific computation - SETI@home, BOINC, Folding@home, Genome@home • digital content sharing - Napster, Openext • others - Jabber (IM), Net-Z and StarCraft (entertainment), etc. Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

Two dimensions in the design of decentralized P2P systems: • flat (single-tier) vs. hierarchical (multi-tier) network structure • flat structure —>* the functionality and load are uniformly distributed among the participating nodes • hierarchical structure —>* multiple layers of routing structures • example: national level (interconnecting states), states level (interconnecting universities), universities level (interconnecting departments), etc. • offers certain advantages (fault isolation and security, effective caching and bandwidth utilization, hierarchical storage, etc.) Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

P2P networks Autumn 2021 51/115 Introduction, Motivation Routing in P2P Networks Evaluation Metrics The effectiveness/efficiency of a routing scheme can be evaluated by several metrics: • Storage • each peer may need to incur some storage space for maintaining metadata (used for searching) • storing more metadata it is more costly to keep these data up-to-date • Efficiency • a system is efficient if it can locate the resources quickly • metric of efficiency is the response time (can be measured by the average query • Usability • reflects the ease of use, and the types of queries that can be supported • e.g., depending on the metadata maintained, one system may support complex • Coverage • refers to whether the search space contains the answers • a scheme with a higher coverage is certainly more useful • Scalability • important - makes the routing scheme useful in largescale environments • a measure of scalability - e.g, the number of messages that need to be routed in path length) queries, while another one can perform an exact match only order to locate information Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 52/115 Routing in P2P Networks Routing in Unstructured P2P Networks uting in Unstructured P2P Networks each peer typically stores its own data objects and selfmaintains a set of links to neighbor nodes when a node wants to join the system, it simply contacts an existing node and copies links of that node to form its own links • (later maintained independently on the contacted node) =4> no peers have global knowledge of data placement • flooding-based techniques have to be used for queries • to alleviate the problem of flooding the system with query messages, a Time-to-Live (TTL) value is usually attached to each query • the challenge is, how to optimize query processing in the limited number of search steps constrained by TTL several routing strategies have been proposed: • Breadth-First Search (BFS) - e.g., Gnutella • Depth-First Search (DFS) - e.g., FreeNet • Heuristic-Based Routing Strategies Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.

If the node does not receive a reply within a certain period of time (or the answer cannot be found), the node selects a next promising neighbor. Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 54/115 Routing in P2P Networks Routing in Unstructured P2P Networks Heuristic-Based Routing Strategies Iterative Deepening • the idea: • a query is initiated with a sequence of multiple traditional BFS searches by enlarging search radius gradually • the search process terminates when either the maximum depth is reached or the results for the query satisfy user's requirements 9 algorithm details: • a system policy P must be provided to specify the sequence of the depths at which the iteration happens • P = Di, D2,..., Dn, where D\ < D2 < ... < Dn • under this policy, the source node first sends a query message to the network via BFS search of depth D\ • if the result obtained satisfies user's requirements, the query is terminated • otherwise, the source node issues another resend query message (with the same query ID) with a BFS depth of D2 • the nodes that are less than Di-hops away from the source node do nothing but just forward the query to their neighbors • the further nodes process the query in the same way as in the first iteration • similarly for D3, D4, etc. • if the query is not answered until the depth of Dn, the search process terminates Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 55/115 Routing in Unstructured P2P Networks Heuristic-Based Routing Strategies Directed BFS and Intelligent Search I. • the idea: • in BFS, each node sends the query to all of its neighbors • in Directed BFS, each node only queries a subset of its neighbors • the key point is how to intelligently choose "good" neighbors that would potentially contribute more relevant results for the query • details on choosing the neighbors: • each node maintains some statistics of its neighbors: the number of previously answered queries through a neighbor node, the number of results obtained, and the latency in receiving the results • based on these statistics, the node can choose the neighbors "intelligently" based on several heuristics, e.g.: • choose the one that returned the largest number of results previously • choose the one that incurred the least hop-count messages previously • choose the one that forwarded the largest number of messages previously • choose the one that have shortest message queues • etc. Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5. P2P networks Autumn 2021 56/115 Routing in P2P Networks Routing in Unstructured P2P Networks Heuristic-Based Routing Strategies Directed BFS and Intelligent Search II.

If the peer PI requests key = 10, it first sends the lookup key to SO; SO relays the key to S2 (since S2 controls the range where the key belongs), which replies the query initiator with the IP of the relevant node gtnrino- thp rpmipctprl rl^^^^^^^^^^^^ Eva Hladká (Fl MU) 5.
