Abstract(in English) The conventional storage load balancing methods for unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) netowrks for file sharing have focued mainly on load that is caused when replicas of requested files are created in peers, which is referred to as load of writing files. This paper focuses on load that is caused when requested files are red and provided from peers with those files, which is referred to as load of reading files, and presents a method that balances such a load among peers. The presented method determines whether or not a peer of interest with a requested file provides the requested file based on the comparion between the numbers of times that files were red from the peer of interest and its neighboring peers. However, there is possibility that refusal of providing a requested file by a peer causes the increases in the number of hops required for successful search. Therefore, we adjust the parameter values of the presented method by a genetic algorithm under the constraint on the number of hops. The experimental results show that the combination of a conventional replication method with high ability in balancing a load of writing files and the presented method yields good global storage load balancing.
