A Measurement Study on the BitTorrent File Distribution System
نویسنده
چکیده
The file distribution protocol BitTorrent(BT) is very popular nowadays, and people are used to sharing files with BT clients everyday. In this project, a two factor full factorial design on workloads and BT clients was proposed to test which effect is significant for BT downloading. The first part presents the background knowledge of Peer-to-peer(P2P) and BT and the introduction of several popular BT clients. Next, a two factor full factorial design was shown. The result indicated that "torrent" was the primary significant factor, while "BT client" was the secondary factor. Also, there was another experiment on out-of-date torrents to test which BT client was successful to download them with few seeder and peers. The result indicated the BT client "μTorrent" was strongest in this task.

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 کاملThe Bittorrent P2P File-Sharing System: Measurements and Analysis
Of the many P2P file-sharing prototypes in existence, BitTorrent is one of the few that has managed to attract millions of users. BitTorrent relies on other (global) components for file search, employs a moderator system to ensure the integrity of file data, and uses a bartering technique for downloading in order to prevent users from freeriding. In this paper we present a measurement study of ...
متن کاملPeer to Peer File Download and Streaming
Peer-to-Peer file distribution is an attractive alternative to IP multicast for efficient dissemination of large files and media streams from one source to a large number of receivers. Typically, the file being distributed is divided into a number of blocks, which the source sends to different receivers. All the receivers serve both as a sender and as a receiver, and are organized into an overl...
