Now days Peer to Peer systems have become an important part of the internet and millions of user have been attracted to use their structure and service. Peer to Peer network systems are distributed systems that provide different characteristic then client server system. Peer to Peer network has widely populated among the internet user as well as computer professionals. Some of the benefits of a Peer to Peer approach include: improving scalability by avoiding dependency on centralized points; eliminating the need for costly infrastructure by enabling direct communication among clients; and enabling resource aggregation. In this Book, Survey and comparison of different Peer to Peer architecture has been introduced. Detailed Survey and performance comparison of structured (Chord, Kademlia) protocol has been done and unstructured Peer to Peer Protocols (Gnutella, Napster, and BitTorrent) have also been studied. Finally Chord and Kademlia have been simulated and analyzed for detailed performance comparison.

Performance analysis of structured peer-to-peer overlays for mobile networks
Distributed Hash Table DHT based Peer-to-Peer P2P overlays have been widely researched and deployed in many applications such as file sharing, IP telephony, content distribution and media streaming applications. However, their deployment has largely ...
Locality in structured peer-to-peer networks
Distributed hash tables (DHTs), used in a number of structured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, provide efficient mechanisms for resource placement and location. A key distinguishing feature of current DHT systems, such as Chord, Pastry, CAN and Tapestry, is ...
A Novel Hierarchical Overlay for Structured Peer-to-Peer Network
SCALCOM-EMBEDDEDCOM '09: Proceedings of the 2009 International Conference on Scalable Computing and Communications; Eighth International Conference on Embedded ComputingLarge-scale P2P systems typically have hundreds of thousands of peers that involve frequent dynamic activities. Empirical studies have shown that participating nodes in P2P systems are not equivalent. Such heterogeneity has been taken into account in ...
