Private Peer-to-Peer Networks [chapter]

Michael Rogers, Saleem Bhatti
2009 Handbook of Peer-to-Peer Networking  
This chapter offers a survey of the emerging field of private peer-to-peer networks, which can be defined as internet overlays in which the resources and infrastructure are provided by the users, and which new users may only join by personal invitation. The last few years have seen rapid developments in this field. We describe deployed systems, classify them architecturally, and identify some technical and social tradeoffs in the design of private peer-to-peer networks.
