Peer-to-peer network management system and method

Abstract

The invention provides a peer-to-peer network management system and method. The method comprises the following steps: a management station interacts with finite peer nodes in a peer-to-peer network through agent to obtain the related information from the peer-to-peer network or peer nodes adopting the resource locate and discovery (RELOAD) protocol; the peer-to-peer network or peer nodes are set or a management command is given to the peer-to-peer network or peer nodes; and the peer-to-peer network or peer nodes can instantly report the related information such as performance or alarm, and the performance requirement of the system is ensured. Therefore, the effective monitoring, diagnosis, debugging and other managements of the peer-to-peer network can be realized, the management efficiency of the peer-to-peer network can be increased, the working performance of the management station can also be increased and the timely management of the peer-to-peer network can be finally ensured, thus the normal operation of the peer-to-peer network can be ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a peer-to-peer network (P2P, Peer to Peer) technology, in particular to a peer-to-peer network management system and a method for realizing management thereof. Background technique [0002] A peer-to-peer network is a distributed network in which the participants of the network share the resources and services they own. Generally, sharing of resources and services includes: sharing and exchange of information, sharing of computing resources such as CPU, sharing of storage resources such as cache and disk space, and so on. Shared resources and services can be accessed by any peer node (Peer) in the network. Each participant in the peer-to-peer network is both a resource and service provider (server) and a resource and service acquirer (client). [0003] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the composition structure of the existing peer-to-peer network, such as figure 1 As shown, the peer-to-peer network is composed of many ...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, since the peer-to-peer network is characterized by a large number of nodes, and the nodes may be adjusted dynamically at any time, for this huge and dynamic network, such as figure 2 As shown, the management station maintains connections with all peer nodes. Then, there is a problem in such a management system: when the peer-to-peer network fluctuates or exchanges a lot of information with the management station, the management efficiency of the peer-to-peer network will inevitably be reduced, and at the same time The working performance of the management station is reduced, and finally the timely management of the peer-to-peer network cannot be guaranteed, so that the normal operation of the peer-to-peer network cannot be guaranteed
