Versioning synchronization for mass p2p file sharing

摘要: A “Mass File Sharer” (MFS) provides a mass P2P file sharing protocol with optional on-demand access across network. Unlike conventional sharing, the MFS simultaneously asynchronously shares large numbers of files, while providing (synchronous) to shared files. The uses unique metadata structure in combination an inter-peer file/folder version analysis and availability share complex directory structures that may include any number folders, sub-folders, Sharing be asynchronous and/or synchronous. Specifically, is generally accomplished as distribution However, when particular peer wants direct mode used enable synchronous delivery This enables support applications, such movie viewing, browsing, etc.
