DHT sistemų privalumas yra jų didelis plečiamumas ir nepriklausomumas, tačiau esami paieškos sprendimai reikalauja išorinių mechanizmų ir taip mažina DHT privalumus. Šio darbo tikslas – padidinti paieškos DHT sistemose galimybes, sukuriant vidinį paieškos mechanizmą Chord algoritmo pagrindu veikiančiai DHT sistemai ir ištiriant jo efektyvumą. Šiame darbe pristatomi galimi vidinės paieškos mechanizmai DHT sistemose pagrįsti n-gramomis ir užtvindymo pranešimais mechanizmu. Tyrimas parodė, kad n-gramos labiau tinkamos sistemoms, kurių dydis yra santykinai mažas, tuo tarpu užtvindymo mechanizmas priimtinesnis sistemose, kuriose įgyvendintas duomenų replikavimas. / The key idea of DHT systems is hash table distributed over the distributed independent nodes. The DHT are decentralized, scalable, fault tolerant and have high hit guaranties for data lookup. However, they do not support arbitrary querying which flooding schemes do: users must know exact key of the resource they are looking up in the system. In the most common solution for this is external searching engine like ftp or http. This work presents research experiment of possible methods for arbitrary querying in DHT based on the “n-grams” and “broadcasting” techniques. Experiment was carried out using experimental P2P system created for this purpose on the base of Chord algorithm. Experimental results showed that, the most expensive (in terms of message generation) process in “n-gram” is publishing of keys to network. The analysis of both methods showed that n-grams are more practical on the relatively smaller network and “broadcasting” is more effective on the networks with implemented data replication.
