Abstract
A peer-to-peer system is divided into a plurality of zones for placing an object. A parent zone having a parent node is identified. The parent zone is divided into the plurality of zones, i.e., subzones, and one of subzones is selected. A node in the subzone is selected for placing the object.
Claims22
A method for placing an object in a peer-to-peer system using a zoom-in algorithm, the method comprising steps of:
- selecting a parent zone having a plurality of nodes in the peer-to-peer system, the parent zone including a node hosting a parent object;
- dividing the parent zone into k subzones;
- selecting one of the subzones;
- selecting a node in the selected subzone;
- and
- placing the object in the selected subzone.

A peer-to-peer system comprising:
- a plurality of nodes including a parent node hosting a parent object;
- the parent node being operable to identify a parent zone including the parent node and to divide the parent zone into a plurality of subzones for placing a child object associated with the parent object.
A node in a peer-to-peer system comprises:
- means for selecting a parent zone having a plurality of nodes in the peer-to-peer system, the parent zone including a node hosting a parent object;
- means for dividing the parent zone into k subzones;
- means for selecting one of the subzones;
- means for selecting a node in the selected subzone;
- and
- means for placing the object in the selected subzone.
