In this paper we model and study the performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems in terms of their `service capacity'. We identify two regimes of interest: the tra...
— The fundamental advantage of peer-to-peer (P2P) multimedia streaming applications is to leverage peer upload capacities to minimize bandwidth costs on dedicated streaming serve...
In this paper, we propose a simple protocol for building heterogeneous unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. The protocol consists of two parts--the joining process and the reb...
The widespread use of broadband networks and the evolution of Peer-to-Peer systems changed dramatically the way Internet is used today. P2P file sharing networks are one of the mo...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an analytical model for file diffusion in a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing network based on biological epidemics. During the downloading process...
