File System based on P2P.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The system include multiple clients (also named peers) and one central server. A peer can
|
|
|
|
|
join the P2P file sharing system by connecting to the server and providing a list of files it wants to
|
|
|
|
|
share. The server shall keep a list of all the files shared on the network. The file being distributed is
|
|
|
|
|
divided into chunks (e.g. a 10 MB file may be transmitted as ten 1 MB chunks). For each file, the
|
|
|
|
|
server shall be responsible for keeping track of the list of chunks each peer has. As a peer receives
|
|
|
|
|
a new chunk of the file it becomes a source (of that chunk) for other peers. When a peer intends
|
|
|
|
|
to download a file, it will initiate a direct connection to the relevant peers to download the file. A
|
|
|
|
|
peer should be able to download different chunks of the file simultaneously from many peers.
