Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing system such as BitTorrent performs better than traditional
client-server system in" flash-crowd" scenario taking advantage of" perpendicular" …

The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing system, most notably BitTorrent (BT), have achieved
tremendous success among Internet users. Recent studies suggest that the long-term …

BitTorrent has achieved a great success in the field of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing.
Although BitTorrent allows peers to share files efficiently and scalably, it shows inefficiency …

As practical ways to control BitTorrent traffic, we examine two basic approaches that exploit
existing features of BitTorrent instead of modifying BitTorrent system. Based on PEX that …

This paper presents an effective network-aware peer selection algorithm to alleviate the
topology mismatch issue in BitTorrent. By utilizing the characteristic of hierarchical network …

In a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing system, the problem of selecting peers to download from,
affects greatly the performance, efficiency, and traffic distribution of the whole system. At …

BitTorrent occupies actually a dominant part of the Internet traffic for various applications.
The protocol provides an efficient transport level but is devoid of real management and …

In recent years, BitTorrent has emerged as a very scalable peer-to-peer file distribution
mechanism. While early measurement and analytical studies have verified BitTorrent's …

Our previous work proposed a MPEG-21 based P2P network architecture supporting
resource adaptation on the basis of usage environment and user preferences. In this paper …

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are distributed systems where no central authority rules the
