Abstract

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing software has brought a hot discussion on P2P file sharing among all businesses. Freenet, Gnutella, and Napster are the three most popular P2P file sharing applications. They use three distinct protocols and these protocols come with different characteristics. In this paper, we discuss the protocols of these P2P file sharing applications, in terms of the methodologies used for peer registry, query and content sharing. In order to maximize the benefit of P2P file sharing application that is to facilitate file sharing among various P2P file sharing applications, we propose a framework to integrate various P2P file sharing protocols using P2P gateway in this paper.

Understanding churn in peer-to-peer networks
IMC '06: Proceedings of the 6th ACM SIGCOMM conference on Internet measurement

The dynamics of peer participation, or churn, are an inherent property of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems and critical for design and evaluation. Accurately characterizing churn requires precise and unbiased information about the arrival and departure of ...
Characterizing unstructured overlay topologies in modern P2P file-sharing systems

In recent years, peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing systems have evolved to accommodate growing numbers of participating peers. In particular, new features have changed the properties of the unstructured overlay topologies formed by these peers. Little is ...
On the Efficiency of Peer-to-Peer File Sharing

In Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing networks, the average download time is determined by how efficiently the upload bandwidth of each peer can be utilized. In this paper, we will first propose a stochastic model for P2P file sharing networks. By ...
