DS-Bit: Delay-Sensitive BitTorrent-Based Data Synchronization Protocol

BitTorrent Architecture and Protocol

BitTorrent is a new popular application layer network protocol used to distribute files. BitTorrent is efficient at content delivery by maximizing the upload utilization and by preventing unfairness. This paper discusses the BitTorrent architecture and protocol in great detail by discussing the tracker and all the messages sent between the peers and the tracker and also between peers and peers....

Delay-based congestion control: Flow vs. BitTorrent swarm perspectives

BitTorrent, one of the most widespread file-sharing P2P applications, recently introduced LEDBAT, a novel congestion control protocol aiming at (i) limiting the additional delay due to queuing, to reduce interference with the rest of user traffic (e.g., Web, VoIP and gaming) sharing the same access bottleneck, and (ii) efficiently using the available link capacity, to provide users with good Bi...

Exploring Proximity Based Peer Selection in a BitTorrent-like Protocol

BitTorrent [1] is popular file-sharing tool, accounting for a significant proportion of Internet traffic. Files are divided into fragments and transferred out of order among nodes trying to download them. Individual nodes penalize and reward other nodes, adjacent in the BitTorrent overlay, depending on how willing others are to share data. This incentives scheme and the subsequent enforcement o...
