Abstract

This study explores the impact and challenges of new user behaviors in the Web 3.0 environment on distributed networks. The traditional Chord algorithm allows nodes to freely join and leave the network by hashing their IP addresses, and publishing and storing resources through the same hash function. When the keys of the resources are unique, the resources will be evenly distributed across each node, thereby achieving load balancing. However, in cases where many identical resources are published, this method leads to specific nodes bearing too much load, causing performance bottlenecks and resource concentration issues. In Web 3.0, when the nodes use the resource’s topic as the key to publish resources, as the topic’s popularity increases, the number of nodes using the same key as the publishing node and the nodes with demand for the topic resources will also increase. In the traditional Chord algorithm, the same key will be managed by the same node. The node responsible for the key needs to save the routing information of all related nodes and cope with a large number of resource requests for it. To address these issues, this paper proposes a new variant of the Chord algorithm, which uses two different Chord rings for resource clustering: one based on the hash of resource names and the other based on the hash of IP addresses. This method allows us to allocate resources more effectively, ensuring each node bears a reasonable load share according to capacity. This paper will present the design principles of this method and validate its effectiveness in improving resource distribution and reducing the problem of single-point overload through experiments.
