Keywords hyperweb search, index replication, hypercube 1 topology, data node College Physical and Mathematical Sciences Department Computer Science Abstract The hyperweb is a network based on a modified hypercube1 topology. It is used to create a peerto- peer network for a distributed database (such as a genealogical database.) Two major drawbacks that a peer-to-peer network suffers are a low reliability rate for individual nodes and a slower search speed as the system grows.
