P2PNS

P2PNS (Peer-to-Peer Name Service) is a distributed name service using a peer-to-peer network. The current focus of P2PNS is to provide a secure and efficient SIP name resolution for decentralized VoIP ( P2PSIP). P2PNS is developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT),  Institute of Telematics (research group Prof. Zitterbart) within the scope of the  ScaleNet project funded by the  German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

The P2PNS architecture is described in the paper  P2PNS: A secure distributed name service for P2PSIP ( slides) and in the internet draft  draft-baumgart-p2psip-p2pns-00.

An experimental implementation of P2PNS for  OverSim is currently in development and available for download here. There's also a  live demonstration of our P2PNS deployment in the  PlanetLab and  G-Lab research networks. Please take a look at the demo guide for usage instructions!
