Bounced - Improving data availability through replication in P2P networks

Raghav Sethi, Naved Alam, Mayank Pundir, Pushpendra Singh

Abstract: Traditional models of file-sharing are less effective for mobile devices due to the low availability of files on the network. In this paper, we discuss the replication strategy of the Bounced file-sharing system, and create a framework to evaluate the benefits of this approach. Bounced intelligently replicates requested files on-demand to improve availability of scarce files and increase the probability of a successful transfer.
