Abstract

We study robust and efficient distributed algorithms for searching, storing, and maintaining data in dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. P2P networks are highly dynamic networks that experience heavy node churn (i.e., nodes join and leave the network continuously over time). Our goal is to guarantee, despite high node churn rate, that a large number of nodes in the network can store, retrieve, and maintain a large number of data items. Our main contributions are fast randomized distributed algorithms that guarantee the above with high probability even under high adversarial churn. In particular, we present the following main results: 1. A randomized distributed search algorithm that with high probability guarantees that searches from as many as n - o(n) nodes (n is the stable network size) succeed in O(log n)-rounds despite 0(n/ log1+δ n) churn, for any small constant δ > 0, per round. We assume that the churn is controlled by an oblivious adversary (that has complete knowledge and control of what nodes join
