Hello, We are glad to advertise our new paper called "Pushing BitTorrent Locality to the Limit." In this paper, we run controlled torrents with up to 10,000 peers to evaluate the impact of locality on inter-ISP links traffic and peers download completion time (See abstract below).
Stevens Le Blond, Arnaud Legout, Walid Dabbous. "Pushing BitTorrent Locality to the Limit". Technical Report (inria-00343822, version 1 - 2 December 2008), INRIA, Sophia Antipolis, December 2008. http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00343822/en/ Comments are welcomed. Best regards, Stevens Le Blond Peer-to-peer locality has recently raised a lot of interest in the community. Indeed, whereas peer-to-peer content distribution enables financial saving for the content providers who do not have to maintain a dedicated infrastructure, it dramatically increases the traffic on inter-ISP links. To solve this issue, the idea to keep a fraction of the peer-to-peer traffic local to each ISP was introduced a few years ago. Since then, peer-to-peer solutions exploiting locality have been introduced. However, several fundamental issues on locality still need to be explored. For instance, how far can we push locality for a peer-to-peer distribution without impacting its robustness? In this paper, we perform extensive experiments on a controlled environment with up to 10,000 peers to evaluate the impact of locality on inter-ISP links traffic and peers download completion time. In particular, we show that high locality values enable up to two orders of magnitude saving on inter-ISP links without any significant impact on peers download completion time. _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
