A novel method for resource discovery from a range based request in a P2P network

Peer to Peer (P2P) systems have increased the curiosity and pathways for people to discover and share the resources. While various methods have been proposed in the discovery of discrete value based resources, there is also a surging interest in discovering a range of resources for a given request. This work is a novel design of a P2P network that adheres to range requests and seeks to discover the resources sought for in the request. The proposed model seeks to find out the range of resource values from within a P2P network of nodes that are in a circular overlay structure. The validation of the design reaches the conclusion that the proposed model increases in efficiency as the number of hubs increases with respect to discovering a range of resources in the hubs.
