  Abstract

In a super-peer based P2P network, The network is clustered and each cluster is managed by a special peer, called a super-peer which has information of all peers in its cluster. This clustered P2P model is known to have efficient information search and less traffic load. In this paper, we first estimate the message traffic cost caused by peer's query, join and update actions within a cluster as well as between the clusters and with these values, we present the optimal number of super-peers that minimizes the traffic cost for the various size of super-peer based P2P networks.
