Paper Abstract
Towards a Common API for Structured Peer-to-Peer Overlays
Frank Dabek, Ben Zhao, Peter Druschel, John Kubiatowicz, and Ion Stoica

Appears in Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Systems (IPTPS '03)

We describe an ongoing effort to define common APIs for structured peer-to-peer overlays and the key abstractions that can be built on them. In doing so, we hope to facilitate independent innovation in overlay protocols, services, and applications, to allow direct experimental comparisons, and to encourage application development by third parties. We provide a snapshot of our efforts and discuss open problems in an effort to solicit feedback from the research community.
