Enhancing P2P File-Sharing with an Internet-Scale Query Processor

Summary: Internet-scale query processor for P2P file-sharing, grounded in a global Gnutella workload study. Hybrid Gnutella+PIERSearch (DHT) handles popular vs rare items; analytical model, traces, and a 50-node cross-continent deployment show improved rare-item recall with acceptable overhead.
