CS 590A Topics in Overlay Networks

As peer-to-peer networks become popular, the algorithmic basis for these overlay networks has also matured. From the inital days of Napster, these algorithms have improved significantly with respect to their scalability, robustness, and performance. At the same time, significant higher-level functionality has been built atop these overlays. This functionality includes storage systems, streaming media services, services networks, and secure and anonymous data storage and transfer. In this class, we will overview the algorithmic basis for these developments. For more information, please see: http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/ayg/CS590A/
