Abstract:
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing is a technique of network file sharing. Clients
can direct access and share the files to other clients in P2P network. The P2P file
sharing system does not require any central server. P2P is more effective than client server method because the computers have shared responsibilities to communicate
with one another. Every computer on a P2P network can operate a server as well as a
client. The integration of P2P network architecture and multi-agent technology are
able to be an optimal solution for the real environmental problems. Multi-agent
innovation has demonstrated better performance results about the further
development, adequacy and accuracy in dynamic and distributed environments. This
system depends on the multi-agent architecture and presents how to manage and share
the files with the concept of load balancing mechanism on the P2P local area network.
The proposed system is developed by utilizing the Microsoft .Net platform and SQL
Server.
