Measurement of BitTorrent Swarms and their AS Topologies

چکیده
The optimization of overlay traffic resulting from overlay applications such as BitTorrent is a challenge addressed by several recent research initiatives. Locality awareness for the selection of peers is considered as the straight forward solution in order to reduce network traffic and shorten download latency. In most related work a simple approach is taken limiting the number of links pointing outside an autonomous system, while important overlay characteristics as peer distribution over autonomous systems and time dynamics are neglected in the corresponding performance evaluations. In this work, we address this lack of realistic swarm statistics by providing our measurement results revealing real live BitTorrent swarm characteristics.

Characterization of BitTorrent swarms and their distribution in the Internet
The optimization of overlay traffic resulting from applications such as BitTorrent is a challenge addressed by several recent research initiatives. However, the assessment of such optimization techniques and their performance in the real Internet remains difficult. Despite a considerable set of works measuring real-life BitTorrent swarms, several characteristics of those swarms relevant for the...
متن کاملBitTorrent Swarm Analysis through Automation and Enhanced Logging
Peer-to-Peer protocols currently form the most heavily used protocol class in the Internet, with BitTorrent, the most popular protocol for content distribution, as its flagship. A high number of studies and investigations have been undertaken to measure, analyse and improve the inner workings of the BitTorrent protocol. Approaches such as tracker message analysis, network probing and packet sni...
متن کاملOptimized Lightweight Active Measurement Model on P2P Swarms Over Internet
Active measurement on peer-to-peer system is the best way to provide the real data for the system simulation and optimization. Based on coupon collector’s problem, an optimized tracing model was proposed to guide the active measurement on BitTorrent swarm. With the optimization of lowering expectations and requesting concurrently, the information repetition rate was 67.12 % off, while still cov...
متن کاملIdentifying and Modeling Flashcrowds in Global BitTorrent Systems
BitTorrent is currently one of the most popular peer-to-peer file sharing applications. Many previous studies of BitTorrent performance have focused on the dynamics of BitTorrent swarms and model flashcrowds by means of the arrival and departure processes of peers. However, until now there is no study that investigates the flashcrowd phenomenon at the BitTorrent system level. In this paper, we ...
متن کاملCheatSheet: A Model-Driven Approach for Capacity Allocation in Managed Swarming
In this paper, we address the problem of allocating server capacity across competing swarms in a managed swarming environment. To this end, we make two contributions. First, we develop a detailed measurement-based model to quantify the relationship between swarm performance and the amount of server bandwidth supplied. Second, we present the design and implementation of CheatSheet, a system to a...
