Improving BitTorrent

چکیده
We propose two new greedy algorithms to be used by software clients running the BitTorrent peer to peer protocol: a new peer selection algorithm and a new piece selection algorithm. We provide experimental results showing that the proposed algorithms are better than the ones currently in use. When used together in our experiments, the algorithms decreased the expected download time by ??% on average when compared to an identical client running the standard Rarest First and Choke/Random Unchoke algorithms.

Impact of Basic Parameters in the Performance of BitTorrent Protocol -A Survey
On today’s internet, BitTorrent is certainly the most popular P2P file distribution application. BitTorrent introduced some innovative peer and piece selection strategies for efficient file distribution over a large participating community. This popularity motivated researchers in studying the performance of BitTorrent and its mechanisms using a number of approaches. This paper presents a surve...
متن کاملDistributed Proximity-Aware Peer Clustering in BitTorrent-Like Peer-to-Peer Networks
In this paper, we propose a hierarchical architecture for grouping peers into clusters in a large-scale BitTorrent-like underlying overlay network in such a way that clusters are evenly distributed and that the peers within are relatively close together. We achieve this by constructing the CBT (Clustered BitTorrent) system with two novel algorithms: a peer joining algorithm and a super-peer sel...
متن کاملSampling Bias in BitTorrent Measurements
Real-world measurements play an important role in understanding the characteristics and in improving the operation of BitTorrent, which is currently a popular Internet application. Much like measuring the Internet, the complexity and scale of the BitTorrent network make a single, complete measurement impractical. While a large number of measurements have already employed diverse sampling techni...
متن کاملImproving BitTorrent: a simple approach
Measurement studies have shown that real world BitTorrent (BT) systems exhibit high seed capacity. Thus, appropriate use of seed capacity can have a significant effect on BT performance. Moreover, seed capacity is also easily exploitable by free-riders, and such free-riding clients exist out in the wild today. In this paper, we propose a simple and scalable approach that makes more intelligent ...
متن کاملImproving sustainability of BitTorrent darknets
Private BitTorrent community, known as “BitTorrent Darknet” or “Private Tracker (PT)”, has received much attention in the research literature recently. Different from public BitTorrent community, PT can only be accessed by its registered members, and it can provide ultra-high downloading speed due to its effective Sharing Ratio Enforcement (SRE) incentive mechanism which stimulates members to c...
