Motivation

There are, however, important challenges that must be overcome before the full potential of P2P systems can be realized. For example, the scale of the network and the autonomy of nodes make it difficult to identify, model and distribute resources that are available. Furthermore, some nodes may be malicious which makes it difficult to provide peers with authentic information or prevent denial-of-service attacks. These issues, and others, have motivated our research on understanding and improving P2P systems.
