A Measurement Study of the BitTorrent Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing System

چکیده
P2P systems for sharing content have become very popular over the last few years. However, despite the increasing attention of both the research community and large numbers of users, the actual behavior of these systems over prolonged periods of time is still poorly understood. This paper presents a detailed measurement study over a period of eight months of BitTorrent/Suprnova, a P2P file-sharing system that is quickly gaining in popularity. In particular, we show measurement results of the popularity and the availability of BitTorrent, of its download performance, of the content lifetime, and of the structure of the community responsible for verifying uploaded content. We also propose improvements to BitTorrent to increase its availability and performance.

On Assessing Measurement Accuracy in BitTorrent Peer-to-Peer File-Sharing Networks
The BitTorrent peer-to-peer file-sharing network is currently one of the dominant Internet applications. Understanding the characteristics of BitTorrent through real-world measurements is key to improve the quality of service for tens of millions of BitTorrent users, but the complexity and scale of BitTorrent make a single, complete measurement impractical. Thus, an increasing number of real me...

متن کاملA Measurement Study on BitTorrent System
Measuring and characterizing peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing systems will benefit the optimization and management of P2P systems. Though there are a lot of measurement studies on BitTorrent almost in every important aspect, few of them focus on the measurement issues and the corresponding solutions, which can strongly influence the accuracy of measurement results. This paper analyzes the key di...
متن کاملCBT: A proximity-aware peer clustering system in large-scale BitTorrent-like peer-to-peer networks
In a large-scale BitTorrent-like peer-to-peer file sharing system, the track server could be overloaded to update the state information of constantly arriving and leaving peers. Upon the connection request from a peer, the track server responses with a random list of peers and such randomly selected peers among the whole peer-to-peer network could create a long delay of file sharing between two...
