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.
