Request Forwarding in Peer to Peer Network

Abstract

Peer to Peer Systems distributes the responsibility of providing services among all peers on the network; this eliminates service outages due to a single point of failure, Peer-to-Peer systems provide open access making the resources available to any user. A device in a P2P network can provide access to any type of resource that it has at its disposal, whether documents, storage capacity, computing power, or even its own human operator. Resource providers receive the tasks, compute them, and send the results back to the consumer node (the job holder). This paper demonstrates the concept of request forwarding in peer to peer network.
