Abstract

This specification can provide resource allocation in peer-to-peer networks. This specification describes techniques whereby individual resources can in certain circumstances share their local views to create a network-wide view. The use of a performance manager facilitates this sharing. The sharing of fault information both access multiple devices and for a single device across restarts is also provided. A network-based aggregator for performance and fault analysis is also provided so that complex analysis algorithms can be provided centrally to assist network performance management.
