Analysis of peer-to-peer (P2P) swarming content delivery systems / Akmarul Nizam Zainudin

Due to the high cost of a Content Distribution Network, most Internet users are not able to scalably deliver content to large audiences. In this paper present a study swarming, a scalable and economic content delivery mechanism that combines peer-to-peer networking with parallel download. First, it is define a swarming architecture that generalizes the basic delivery mechanism in popular swarming protocols such as Gnutella [7] and BitTorrent [l]. That can conduct a comprehensive performance study of swarming delivery, using a variety of workloads. The results show that swarming scales with offered load up to several orders of magnitude beyond what a basic web server can manage. Most impressively, swarming enables a web server. The outcomes of the project are to illustrate the benefits and limitations of a basic swarming protocol and to identify several key opportunities for performance improvements on the system that has been analysed. The analysis for P2P swarming is performed using software OMNeT++. [2]
