摘要:Almost all recent researches on P2P systems focus on howto build a highly usable P2P overlay network. Researchersinclude small routing table, short query path and goodrobustness into their design objectives of overlay topology. Inthis paper, we present a general group theory method anddefine a new Cayley graph. Based on this Cayley graph, wepropose a novel P2P overlay network called CHC, which hassimple routing (searching) scheme and many other excellentproperties such as short query path, high clustering and goodrobustness because of its symmetry. The performance isevaluated by simulation to show that CHC possesses shorterquery path length and higher clustering and better robustnessthan several popular P2P overlay networks such as Chord andUlysses.
