Freenet: A Distributed Anonymous Information Storage and Retrieval System (2000)(Make Corrections)(195 citations) Ian Clarke, Oskar Sandberg, Brandon Wiley, Theodore W. Hong
Abstract: We describe Freenet, an adaptive peer-to-peer network application that permits the publication, replication, and retrieval of data while protecting the anonymity of both authors and readers. Freenet operates as a network of identical nodes that collectively pool their storage space to store data files and cooperate to route requests to the most likely physical location of data. No broadcast search or centralized location index is employed. Files are referred to in a location-independent manner, ... (Update)
...of available files to the central index, and queries are answered using this index. Other systems, such as Gnutella [10] and Freenet [9], broadcast search requests over an overlay network connecting the peers. More recent P2P systems, including Kazaa [20] use a hybrid...
