- 1. Chord A Scalable Peer-to-peer Lookup Service for Internet Applications CS294-4: Peer-to-peer Systems Markus B旦hning bohning@uclink.berkeley.edu
- 2. 2 What is Chord? What does it do? In short: a peer-to-peer lookup service Solves problem of locating a data item in a collection of distributed nodes, considering frequent node arrivals and departures Core operation in most p2p systems is efficient location of data items Supports just one operation: given a key, it maps the key onto a node
- 3. 3 Chord Characteristics Simplicity, provable correctness, and provable performance Each Chord node needs routing information about only a few other nodes Resolves lookups via messages to other nodes (iteratively or recursively) Maintains routing information as nodes join and leave the system
- 4. 4 Mapping onto Nodes vs. Values Traditional name and location services provide a direct mapping between keys and values What are examples of values? A value can be an address, a document, or an arbitrary data item Chord can easily implement a mapping onto values by storing each key/value pair at node to which that key maps
- 5. 5 Napster, Gnutella etc. vs. Chord Compared to Napster and its centralized servers, Chord avoids single points of control or failure by a decentralized technology Compared to Gnutella and its widespread use of broadcasts, Chord avoids the lack of scalability through a small number of important information for rounting
- 6. 6 DNS vs. Chord DNS provides a host name to IP address mapping relies on a set of special root servers names reflect administrative boundaries is specialized to finding named hosts or services Chord can provide same service: Name = key, value = IP requires no special servers imposes no naming structure can also be used to find data objects that are not tied to certain machines
- 7. 7 Freenet vs. Chord both decentralized and symmetric both automatically adapt when hosts leave and join Freenet does not assign responsibility for documents to specific servers, instead lookups are searches for cached copies + allows Freenet to provide anonymity prevents guaranteed retrieval of existing documents Chord does not provide anonymity + but its lookup operation runs in predictable time and always results in success or definitive failure
- 8. 8 Addressed Difficult Problems (1) Load balance: distributed hash function, spreading keys evenly over nodes Decentralization: chord is fully distributed, no node more important than other, improves robustness Scalability: logarithmic growth of lookup costs with number of nodes in network, even very large systems are feasible
- 9. 9 Addressed Difficult Problems (2) Availability: chord automatically adjusts its internal tables to ensure that the node responsible for a key can always be found Flexible naming: no constraints on the structure of the keys key-space is flat, flexibility in how to map names to Chord keys
- 10. 10 Example Application using Chord: Cooperative Mirroring Highest layer provides a file-like interface to user including user-friendly naming and authentication This file systems maps operations to lower-level block operations Block storage uses Chord to identify responsible node for storing a block and then talk to the block storage server on that node File System Block Store Chord Block Store Chord Block Store Chord Client Server Server
- 11. 11 The Base Chord Protocol (1) Specifies how to find the locations of keys How new nodes join the system How to recover from the failure or planned departure of existing nodes
- 12. 12 Consistent Hashing Hash function assigns each node and key an m-bit identifier using a base hash function such as SHA-1 ID(node) = hash(IP, Port) ID(key) = hash(key) Properties of consistent hashing: Function balances load: all nodes receive roughly the same number of keys good? When an Nth node joins (or leaves) the network, only an O(1/N) fraction of the keys are moved to a different location

- 15. 15 Scalable Key Location A very small amount of routing information suffices to implement consistent hashing in a distributed environment Each node need only be aware of its successor node on the circle Queries for a given identifier can be passed around the circle via these successor pointers Resolution scheme correct, BUT inefficient: it may require traversing all N nodes!
- 16. 16 Acceleration of Lookups Lookups are accelerated by maintaining additional routing information Each node maintains a routing table with (at most) m entries (where N=2m) called the finger table ith entry in the table at node n contains the identity of the first node, s, that succeeds n by at least 2i-1 on the identifier circle (clarification on next slide) s = successor(n + 2i-1) (all arithmetic mod 2) s is called the ith finger of node n, denoted by n.finger(i).node

- 18. 18 Finger Tables (2) - characteristics Each node stores information about only a small number of other nodes, and knows more about nodes closely following it than about nodes farther away A nodes finger table generally does not contain enough information to determine the successor of an arbitrary key k Repetitive queries to nodes that immediately precede the given key will lead to the keys successor eventually

- 21. 21 Source of Inconsistencies: Concurrent Operations and Failures Basic stabilization protocol is used to keep nodes successor pointers up to date, which is sufficient to guarantee correctness of lookups Those successor pointers can then be used to verify the finger table entries Every node runs stabilize periodically to find newly joined nodes
- 22. 22 Stabilization after Join np succ(n p ) = n s ns n pred(n s ) = n p n joins predecessor = nil n acquires ns as successor via some n n notifies ns being the new predecessor ns acquires n as its predecessor np runs stabilize np asks ns for its predecessor (now n) np acquires n as its successor np notifies n n will acquire np as its predecessor all predecessor and successor pointers are now correct fingers still need to be fixed, but old fingers will still work nil pred(n s ) = n succ(n p ) = n
- 23. 23 Failure Recovery Key step in failure recovery is maintaining correct successor pointers To help achieve this, each node maintains a successor-list of its r nearest successors on the ring If node n notices that its successor has failed, it replaces it with the first live entry in the list stabilize will correct finger table entries and successor-list entries pointing to failed node Performance is sensitive to the frequency of node joins and leaves versus the frequency at which the stabilization protocol is invoked
- 24. 24 Chord The Math Every node is responsible for about K/N keys (N nodes, K keys) When a node joins or leaves an N-node network, only O(K/N) keys change hands (and only to and from joining or leaving node) Lookups need O(log N) messages To reestablish routing invariants and finger tables after node joining or leaving, only O(log2N) messages are required
- 25. 25 Experimental Results Latency grows slowly with the total number of nodes Path length for lookups is about 遜 log2N Chord is robust in the face of multiple node failures
