Abstract

Exploiting and deploying telecommunication services on Internet Telephony are imperative for a large market share. However, the distributed nature of peer-to-peer (P2P) network makes services implementation very difficult. In order to meet the research goals of achieving P2P telecommunication services through the union of social and computer networks, we present a society-integrated testbed architecture for P2P voice over IP (VoIP). By introducing an architecture that exploits and entailing social structure based connection establishment, the testbed presents an organic integration of social functionalities with good portability. The testbed also serves as a flexible tool suite that can be used to run experiments and obtain timely feedback based on the performance measurements.
