Simulating a File-Sharing P2P Network

چکیده
Assessing the performance of peer-to-peer algorithms is impossible without simulations since testing new algorithms by deploying them in an existing P2P network is prohibitively expensive. However, some P2P algorithms are sensitive to the network and traffic models that are used in the simulations. In order to produce realistic results, we therefore require simulations that resemble real-world P2P networks as closely as possible. We describe the QueryCycle Simulator, a simulator for file-sharing P2P networks networks. We link the Query-Cycle Simulator to measurements on existing P2P networks and discuss some open issues in simulating these networks.

P2P Network Trust Management Survey
Peer-to-peer applications (P2P) are no longer limited to home users, and start being accepted in academic and corporate environments. While file sharing and instant messaging applications are the most traditional examples, they are no longer the only ones benefiting from the potential advantages of P2P networks. For example, network file storage, data transmission, distributed computing, and co...

متن کاملSimulating Network Coding for Accelerating Tit-for-Tat in Peer-to-Peer Content Sharing
The deterministic network coding has several advantages over random network coding methods, like lower communication overhead and faster linear independence check. We would like to create a P2P content sharing simulation environment, where nodes communicate with deterministic network coding to observe the different properties of deterministic source coding. Our simulator is based on the Peersim...
متن کاملA Resource Exchange Architecture for Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Applications
A peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing network provides a resource sharing platform for Internet users. To increase higher-degree resource sharing, heterogeneous P2P file sharing networks need a way to collaborate and communicate with each other. Based on the approach of interconnecting heterogeneous P2P file sharing networks, users on one P2P file sharing network can share resources and search data...
متن کاملControlling P2P File-Sharing Networks' Traffic
Since the appearance of Peer-To-Peer (P2P) file-sharing networks some time ago, many Internet users have chosen this technology to share and search programs, videos, music, documents, etc. The total number of P2P file-sharing users has been increasing and decreasing in the last decade depending on the creation or end of some well known P2P file-sharing systems. P2P file-sharing networks traffic...
