SkyEye - p2p monitoring mechanism for structured p2p systems

In order to ease the development and maintenance of more complex P2P applications, which combine multiple P2P functionality (e.g. streaming and dependable storage), we suggest to extend structured P2P systems with a dedicated information management layer. This layer is meant to generate statistics on the whole P2P system and to enable capacity-based peer search, which helps the individual functionality layers in the P2P application to find suitable peers for layer-specific role assignment. We present in this paper SkyEye.KOM, an information management layer applicable on DHTs, which fulfills these desired functionality.
SkyEye.KOM builds an over-overlay, which is scalable by leveraging the underlying DHT, easy to deploy as simple add-on to existing DHTs and efficient as it needs O(log N) hops per query and to place peer-specific information network wide accessible. Evaluation shows that SkyEye.KOM has a good query performance and that the costs for maintaining the over-overlay are very low.
