Geographical Routing in Peer to Peer Overlay Networks

Abstract

The project aims to devise geographical routing techniques for the peer to peer overlay networks. The project in its final stages will simulate the peer to peer overlay network in a network simulator and routing strategy namely greedy perimeter stateless routing (hybrid of the greedy forwarding and flat face routing techniques) and compare results of on the basis of packet delivery ratio,throughput, and delay with the changing number of nodes. The P2P overlay networks are nowadays used widely in the field of telecommunication, file sharing over the internet and cloud computing. Telecommunication: Overlay networks are those networks that combine the various logical layers, operated and built by various entities and permitted the buildup of a broad set of services that otherwise could not have been proposed by a single telecommunication operator. Cloud Computing: Cloud Computing is a virtual extension for storing additional files, programs and network resources.All files and applications use the virtual resources of the cloud and not the local network.
