PEER-TO-PEER FILE SHARING SYSTEM IN CAMPUS USING MULTI-AGENT

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.
