 Peer-to-Peer systems have recently received considerable attention in both 
 academia \cite{projectirisurl} and industry \cite{p2pworkinggroup, jxtaurl} 
for a 
 number of reasons. The lack of centralization in Peer-to-Peer systems
-means that the participants can form a distributed system without any 
investment to 
-centralized hardware, which would coordinate it by sharing their services
-and connecting to each other directly. Additionally, the distributed and ad 
hoc nature of 
-Peer-to-Peer improves scalability and avoids single points of failure.
-
-There are many definitions of Peer-to-Peer networks. Schollmeier 
\cite{schollmeier01p2pdefinition} 
-describes Peer-to-Peer system as a system of 
-distributed entities that share their own services. Indeed, Peer-to-Peer 
systems can be characterized as distributed 
-systems in which all communication is symmetric and all participant entities 
have similar 
-capabilities and responsibilities. Each entity, i.e., \emph{peer}, may 
contribute services 
-to the overall system.
