Bounced-Improving Data Availability Through Replication In P2p Networks

Traditional models of file-sharing are less effective for mobile devices due to the low availability of files on the network. In this paper, we discuss the replication strategy of the Bounced file-sharing system, and create a framework to evaluate the benefits of this approach. Bounced intelligently replicates requested files on-demand to improve availability of scarce files and increase the probability of a successful transfer.
