Abstract: Churn is a basic and inherent problem in P2P networks. A lot of relevant studies have been carried out, but all lack versatility. In this paper, a general solution is proposed which makes a peer-to-peer (P2P) network need not pay much attention to churn problem by introducing a logic layer named Dechurn, and most of churn could be eliminated in the Dechurn layer. For utilizing the complementary nature of node joining and leaving, a network scheme, named Constellation, for handling churn is designed on the Dechurn layer through which the resources cached in a node for its spouse node who has left network would be succeeded by a node in latent period. The simulation results indicate that the proposed solution is effective and efficient in handling churn and easy to put into practice. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
