Abstract:
With the advance of Peer-to-Peer solutions, research and commercial players have shown interest in enhancing local client and overall swarm performance in order to improve content distribution and user satisfaction. Protocol measurements and careful client and swarm behavior analysis are required to provide valuable information on improving performance. In this paper, we present a Peer-to-Peer testing infrastructure that enables easy deployment of complete and controlled BitTorrent swarms. The infrastructure allows a variety of realistic scenarios to be run with the ability to configure characteristics such as client type, bandwidth management, churn rate and number of connections.
