Abstract
A practical distributed computing system with almost perfect scalability is realized by distributed has table like search and lookup algorithm implemented in a hardware P2P (peer-to-peer) overlay with multiple P2P software overlays. Each software overlay is implemented as an active database. Each hardware overlay node is any IP device, fixed or mobile; while the system can be implemented with or without a server infrastructure. This system is adapted to multiple applications: multi-player gaming, file sharing within a closed user group, media session handover, event trigger, and behavior-based marketing.
Claims8
A system to realize practical distributed computing with almost perfect scalability in peer-to-peer architecture for both control and data planes, comprising:
- a plurality of hardware overlay nodes, or nodes, comprising a hardware overlay;
- a plurality of users;
- a plurality of database systems called ADBs;
- a distributed directory search and retrieval algorithm;
- wherein each said node is an IP device connected to an IP network;
- each said ADB comprises a software overlay hosted on said hardware overlay;
- a said ADB is either an active database or a traditional database, and all data plane and control plane functions of said ADBs are implemented in P2P manner, and each said ADB is subdivided into sub-DBs or sub-databases, with each sub-DB hosted on a said node;
- said distributed directory search and retrieval algorithm is based on distributed hash tables.
