HitPeers: A P2P file sharing system with category tree

HitPeers contributes a scalable and highly efficient P2P file sharing system in which all the data file can be shared. The center of HitPeers is the Category Tree (CT). CT collects the published information with category. It is flexible enough to let users customize their own local CT. Its hierarchy helps users to find the information they desire more conveniently. To increase the robustness and retain the efficiency, HitPeers will divide the tree into disjoint parts. Every part is a subtree. Some special nodes named Onodes will take charge of the subtree and play the role of a service provider. HitPeers produce more and more Onodes to meet the service demands in the internet-scale distributed environment. This paper will show the profile of the whole system.
