Impact of Basic Parameters in the Performance of BitTorrent Protocol -A Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 survey of the impact of basic protocol related parameters over performance metrics, including download latency, fairness and service capacity of the BitTorrent protocol. This paper also presents some possible improvements to the existing BitTorrent protocol for improving performance.

Performance Analysis of BitTorrent-like Systems in Heterogeneous Networks
BitTorrent is the most successful peer-to-peer system and has attracted a lot of attention from the research community. Researchers have studied a number of aspects of the system, including its scalability, performance, efficiency and fairness. However, the complexity of the system has forced most researchers to make a number of simplifying assumptions, e.g. user homogeneity, or even ignore som...
متن کاملA Survey on Electrocardiographic Parameters in Broiler Chickens Following the Intracerebroventricular Injection of Melatonin
Objective- The pineal gland and its principal hormone melatonin play an important role in the circadian organization in birds. However, little is known about the role of melatonin in cardiac activity of broiler chicken. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of intracerebroventricular injection of melatonin in electrocardiographic parameters, heart rate and mean electri...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of the Advanced Network Tracker for BitTorrent
BitTorrent, a popular Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocol, has recently engendered considerable controversy. Many P2P applications implement a variant of the protocol due to its cost-effective scalability. However, for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) the protocol is notorious for its high network cost. To reduce these costs, ISPs have deployed network devices to detect and throttle BitTorrent traffic...
متن کاملHow Efficient is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is arguably the most popular media file distribution protocol used in Internet today. Even though empirically BitTorrent seems to be both efficient and scalable, there has been very little research on the detailed dynamics of its built-in control mechanisms, and their effectiveness across a wide variety of network configurations and protocol parameters. The main goal of this paper is...
متن کاملAn Empirical Performance Evaluation and Modelling of BitTorrent peer-to-peer File Sharing System using Queuing Network Models
It has been observed that the maximum bandwidth usage incurred during the file transfers on the internet mainly corresponds to the large chunks of data, which typically consists of continuous media, for example videos, movies or the sound files. Data packages like bulky software executables also contribute to the bandwidth usage. Peer to peer file transfer systems have now become enormously pop...
