  Abstract

Flooding based p2p system basically provides anonymity and under the anonymity circumstances user and provider exchange information. Most of packets transferred from node to node do not contain identity information on node that sent packet. And these packets are transmitted to the destination through the routing systems dynamically composed of intermediate nodes. Therefore it is impossible to know who transmitted it for the first and who the designated recipient is. But since downloading and uploading host´ IP address is exposed it does not provide anonymity. This study introduces techniques to provide anonymity for protecting identification of users and resource providers by replacing QueryHit packets in systems where anonymity can cause trouble.
