CS4262 - Distributed Systems project.
Develop a simple overlay-based solution that allows a set of nodes to share contents (e.g., music files) among each other. Consider a set of nodes connected via some overlay topology. Each of the nodes has a set of files that it is willing to share with other nodes. Suppose node x
is interested in a file f
. x
issues a search query to the overlay to locate at least one node y
containing that particular file. Once the node is identified, the file f
can be exchanged between x
and y
.
