BitTorrent Architecture and Protocol
نویسندگان
چکیده
BitTorrent is a new popular application layer network protocol used to distribute files. BitTorrent is efficient at content delivery by maximizing the upload utilization and by preventing unfairness. This paper discusses the BitTorrent architecture and protocol in great detail by discussing the tracker and all the messages sent between the peers and the tracker and also between peers and peers. Also this paper will describe how BitTorrent is efficient by looking at algorithms that decide which peers to upload to and which pieces of the file to download first.

2-LAMA Architecture vs. BitTorrent Protocol in a Peer-to-Peer Scenario
In this paper, we review our Multi-Agent System (MAS) architecture (2LAMA) proposed to assist existing MAS. This architecture consists of two levels: the conventional MAS system and an additional meta-level in charge of assistance. We illustrate our approach in a Peer-to-Peer sharing network scenario and compare it with the commonly used BitTorrent protocol. Experiments show that the cost of ad...
متن کاملA Survey of Peer-to-Peer Attacks and Counter Attacks
-Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network is a distributed network architecture that partitions tasks or workloads among peers (nodes). Similar to traditional Internet, P2P networks are open to many attacks. In this research work we survey the defensive measures against general attacks as well as P2P specific attacks. We take BitTorrent (a P2P communications protocol for file sharing) as an example to illust...
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...
متن کاملScalability of the BitTorrent P2P Application
Peer-to-peer (p2p) networks are popular for their improved scalability compared to the client/server architecture. Hereby, the contribution of upload capacity provided by each peer to the network is the basic principle. BitTorrent is a very popular p2p application for file-sharing which is optimized for fast file dissemination. Key component is its tit-for-tat strategy to decide to whom a peer ...
متن کاملImpact 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...
