Abstract

This paper proposes an architecture for unstructured p2p Internet applications. The paper focuses on applications that use superpeers. The proposed architecture utilizes satellites for building a backbone network for connecting superpeers. This network provides fully meshed connectivity to superpeers, in order to minimize the complexity of the p2p overlay network and at the same time preserves the flexibility in developing new applications. Technical aspects related to the implementation of the proposed architecture are discussed and useful conclusions are drawn.
