Abstract:
Load balancing is an interesting domain for research in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems, because of the large scale, heterogeneity and dynamic nature of the peers. In this work, we properly change the load balancing algorithm presented in [2] for an unstructured P2P system, that is based on a partially centralized architecture, to lower the power consumption of the whole system, without performance unacceptable loss in load balancing measures. In this algorithm, we consider some peers of the system as “green” nodes, we locate the peer to serve a request with the use of heuristic methods combined with a simple mathematical model, and we use simulation to compare our results with the results of [2]. As the reader will see, we can save much energy with a very low percentage loss in load balancing measurements.
