A mesh-connected tree based hybrid peer-to-peer network

The main drawback of a centralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network is that it can suffer from single-point failures during a over-flooding of requests. On the other hand, a distributed P2P has network congestion problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid structure based on a mesh- connected tree (MCT) architecture to overcome above situations. The simulation of packet transformation in MCT architecture analyzes delay, jitter and package loss. We find, during a simulated transmission time of 0.001 seconds, the package loss to be 0, while the best peak-to-peak delay time and jitter of the proposed P2P scheme are 0.002217 and 0.00140, respectively. Consequently, the proposed method effectively solves the overflooding and network congestion in both centralized and distributed P2P networks.
