Revolution in the Network Age - P2P
The current P2P is really uncommon, and it has become a high popularity of the industry. However, how many people know her in my country? Even if you stand in Tsinghua from the front of the domestic network, have a few beautiful feelings that enjoy her brings? ICP, B2C, B2B, ASP, BSP ... These business models have an indelible merit in the long river of Internet history, and in recent months, a series of business models triggered by P2P are more optimistic. . However, when people have praised their perfect characteristics, a lawsuit between the US Record Industry Association and Napster and Gnutella is entangled, but the countless pursuit of P2P is expected, and the prospects have expressed endless concerns. However, the industry is still full of confidence in the business model under this technology. They think: P2P, as long as you get out of the predicament, you can achieve profitability prospects. P2P is the meaning of English Peer to Peer, the Chinese is "end-to-end" technology. To apply this technology, personal computers can achieve interview, exchange file information, etc. without passing the server. There is no primary and secondary division between the networking computer, each has a separate network autonomy, from a certain point of view, P2P can be said to be the return of early BBS, so it is also known as "peer network connection protocol". On this concept, Intel has injected another new idea to P2P: using distributed computing technologies to integrate server, desktops, and laptops, implement processing capabilities and hard disks. Sharing of resources such as storage. Industry experience is generally compared with Linux: Linux set off a software public code movement, which is a rebellion to traditional software industry; while P2P will exchange documents and opinions without any restrictions, this is the traditional mass A rebellion of the way. At the same time as P2P showing its characteristics, Pat Gelsinger, who is not allowed to determine the answer industry big company, such as Intel's Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Intel, and Mosaic (the earliest Web). The browser) is on Web. "So," So people began to discuss the second revolution brought by P2P to the Internet. Although this P2P mode is currently used in a consumer environment, it will also play an important role in the field of commercial calculations. To this end, Mr. Gelsinger gives this explanation. "Because P2P applications can effectively reduce the waste of enterprise IT resources. For example, the sharing of hard drives in PC and workstations can be realized. If which IT department must have a massive data, you can call all PCs within the company, fully utilize The hard disk space and processing power of idle states. "In the past decade, Intel said they have been using a P2P program called NetBatch, chip developers submit their design to a P2P message queue. Intel also saves more than $ 500 million. Specifically, the company's chip technician fully utilizes the idle hard disk space and computational power distributed from 10,000 PCs around the world's workstation, so Intel uses the technical province to go to a large purchase of computing Computer costs. The second important application of P2P is a search. Whether it is the current directory search engine or Lycos and domestic Baidu smart search engines, its search must rely on the server to complete, and use the P2P technology search engine, it is not limited to the server. When you enter a search keyword, the search instruction is sent to 10 computers, and then the 10 computers will then send a search instruction to another 10 sets, so in such a few seconds, the search range rapidly in the geometric level. Its search depth and breadth are unmatched by existing search engines. Since P2P technology has such a superior performance, it will naturally be able to use its company.
