Bandwidth Allocation and Peer Selection Methods in BitTorrent Systems

[ES] Evaluación de un protocolo BitTorrent modificado, empleando un Simulador.¿¿¿¿¿[EN] The BitTorrent protocol is one of the most successful Peer-to-Peer systems and has received immense attention from researchers as well as the industry. In order to improve its performance a series of protocol modi cations have been published and investigated. Focus of this work was set a subset of these improvements that intend to optimize the Bandwidth Scheduling as well as Peer selection. To evaluate some of the most promising protocol modi cations they have been implemented inside a Peer Overlay Simulator and tested extensively against the unmodi ed BitTorrent protocol. This work is therefore presenting a series of protocol modi cations, a newly developed Peer Overlay Simulator that is publicly available and results that shows under which circumstances the modi cated protocol outperforms the traditional BitTorrent protocol.Pasieka, M.
