SEPGS: A Super-node Election Protocol Based on Gossping and Self-information Theory

Zhiwei Gao, Yufeng Jia, Yingxin Hu

Abstract


Many distributed applications such as cloud computings, grids use peer-to-peer (P2P) paradigm as the lower service. In P2P technology, the super-node paradigm can lead to improved efficiency, without compromising the decentralized nature of P2P networks. So the above applications adopt super-node paradigm to provide services. However, due to inherent dynamism, decentralisation, scale and complexity of P2P environments, self-managing super-node selection is a challenging problem. This paper present a super-node election protocol based on self-information theory and gossiping technology(SEPGS). In SEPGS, every node has a information vector (VI), and SEPGS uses a weighted mean mechanism based on VI to promote the “best” nodes to super-node status. As we know we are the first to use self-information theory to select super-node. The paper also includes extensive simulation experiments to prove the efficiency, scalability and robustness of SEPGS.

Keywords


self-information quantity, super-node, scalability, SEPGS.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.
