Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to the supervision of transactions in peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks. A P2P overlay network often consists of peers interconnected via different access technologies having significantly different round-trip time (RTT) delays. Current time supervisions of retransmissions and transactions in P2P networks have fixed values. This has the disadvantages that if the timer values are too short, unnecessary retransmissions are performed although a response would be on its way. If the timer values are too long it results in unnecessarily long messaging delays. These disadvantages have been overcome by a method and a peer for adapting the timer values to the conditions in the P2P overlay network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a first peer configured to supervise a transaction between the first peer and a second peer in a structured distributed hash table based peer-to-peer overlay network comprising a plurality N of peers, the first peer being a computing device connected to the peer-to-peer overlay network, said method comprising: determining an average message round-trip time (RTT AVG ) between the first peer and its neighbor peers in the overlay net…
