Abstract :
In a network file sharing system, many practical algorithms to support Byzantine Fault-Tolerant distributed applications has been made in topical years. These solutions are designed to make the applications resistant to successful attacks alongside the system, thereby making services tolerant to intrusions. In recent times, some of these studies have considered the use of virtual machines for building a trusted computing environment. This project presents SMIT (Shared Memory based Intrusion Tolerance), an design for Intrusion Tolerance using virtual machines that benefits from a shared memory to simplify the consensus protocol. P2P overlay topologies and their dynamics, focusing on the modern network. We present Cruiser, a fast and exact P2P crawler, which can capture a complete snapshot of the network of more than one million peers in just a few minutes. Leveraging recent overlay snapshots captured with Cruiser, we distinguish the graph-related properties of individual overlay snapshots and overlay dynamics across slices of back-to-back snapshots. Our results reveal that while the network has dramatically grown and changed in many ways, it still exhibits the cluster and short path lengths of a small world network.
