Predicting Peer Offline Probability in BitTorrent Using Nonlinear Regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
BitTorrent is a popular and scalable P2P content distribution tool. This study attempts to analyze the factors that affect the offline probability of BitTorrent peer, and express the probability using these factors. We first collect large data set of BitTorrent peers’ activities. Then we use nonlinear least-squares regression to determine the probability distribution function for each of the three factors (download percent, download speed, and local time) and the joint probability distribution function of the three factors, and use another large data set to verify the prediction results.

An FPGA-based system for tracking digital information transmitted via Peer-to-Peer protocols
At issue for any organization is the illicit dissemination of sensitive information using file sharing applications within a network, and tracking terrorist cells or criminal organizations that are covertly communicating using Voice over IP (VoIP) applications. This paper presents a field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based embedded software tool designed to process file transfers using the Bi...
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 کاملPredicting Peer-to-Peer Loan Rates Using Bayesian Non-Linear Regression
Peer-to-peer lending is a new highly liquid market for debt, which is rapidly growing in popularity. Here we consider modelling market rates, developing a nonlinear Gaussian Process regression method which incorporates both structured data and unstructured text from the loan application. We show that the peer-to-peer market is predictable, and identify a small set of key factors with high predi...
متن کاملPeer-Assisted On-Demand Streaming of Stored Media Using BitTorrent-Like Protocols
With BitTorrent-like protocols a client may download a file from a large and changing set of peers, using connections of heterogeneous and timevarying bandwidths. This flexibility is achieved by breaking the file into many small pieces, each of which may be downloaded from different peers. This paper considers an approach to peer-assisted on-demand delivery of stored media that is based on the ...
متن کاملPredicting TCP Throughput Using Time Series Forecasting
Forecasting end-to-end throughput accurately can be vital for several applications. Peer-to-peer applications like BitTorrent or Skype will be able to select the peers more efficiently if the throughput in the short-term is known. On the other hand applications can adapt their behaviour accordingly, if they know how the end-to-end throughput is going to vary in the lifetime of a connection. Thi...
