The client-server and peer-to-peer paradigms of distributed
computing lay at opposite ends of the spectrum
when it comes to simplicity, resiliency to failures, and distribution
of load. Unlike client-server systems, peer-topeer
systems are built to have no central components and
to withstand failure. They are used to provide file sharing
services, however, there is currently no peer-to-peer system
that safely maintains consistency of data in the face
of concurrent file updates. This paper solve this problem
by layering a robust, well-tested, client-server application
for managing concurrent file access (CVS [2]) on top of
a peer-to-peer distributed hash table (the Bamboo DHT
[3]). This coupling provides a distributed, scalable, faulttolerant,
service for managing concurrent updates to replicated
data. This work gives proof of concept that combining
the client-server and peer-to-peer paradigms can provide
functionality beyond the current capabilities of either
paradigm alone.
