“…Some work uses analytical models (Lin et al, 2007) to represent its behavior, while other work has focused on the evaluation of several aspects of the protocol using real traces from a tracker (Izal et al, 2004;Pouwelse et al, 2005). Finally, as a third research focus, the scientific community has been studying this system using simulators as a primary tool to evaluate its behavior under different circumstances, some examples are (Bharambe et al, 2005;Bindal et al, 2006;Chen, Chu, & Liu, 2010;Eger et al, 2007;Katsaros et al, 2009;Microsoft, 2007). In this last branch of research, we detected three areas of opportunity.…”

Simulation and emulation have been used by researchers to develop new network protocols and to test, modify and optimize existing ones; these experiments must imitate the heterogeneous nature of the Internet in a controllable environment suitable to answer what-if questions. BitTorrent is not the exception. In this paper, we present a simulation platform that allows the interaction of simulated and emulated peers; the BitTorrent protocol is implemented in the simulator with a high degree of detail in which any genuine BitTorrent implementation would seamlessly fit into the platform. To evaluate our platform, several experiments were completed with thousands of peers; then, we compared the results of these tests with two mathematical models to corroborate its correctness.

“…Modelnet is demonstrated to be a good option since the research community is using it to validate many flavours of peer-to-peer applications. Some examples are peer-topeer online games [49], peer-to-peer video on demand [46], peer-to-peer networks [16,27] peer-to-peer filesystems [8] or the Tor emulation platform, which is also based on Modelnet [4].…”

This paper reports the results of experiments from an implementation of H-P2PSIP, a hierarchical overlay architecture based on the ongoing work in the IETF P2PSIP Working Group. This architecture allows the exchange of information among different independent overlay networks through the use of a two-layer architecture based on super-peers and hier-archical identifiers. The validation of this proposal is based on a Linux based real implementation where we have used four different scenarios with 1,000 peers in order to perform different experiments. We have obtained results for different parameters such as rout-ing performance (number of hops), delay, routing state (number of overlay routing entries) and bandwidth consumption.

“…Peers query a centralized server, which is called tracker, to retrieve peer list owning part or whole of the file they are interested in, and simultaneously download different pieces of the file from different peers. Chen et al in [34] presented Virtual BT which is lightweight for BitTorrent-like file sharing systems. BTSim Simulation Components in GPS [22] is the implementation of BT protocol specification.…”

Because of the dynamic, diversity and complexity of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network, this gives rise to a number of challenges to simulate P2P network. In this paper, we focus on various available P2P simulators and summarized them against a proposed set of attributes of each simulator by surveying a number of P2P simulators, such as scalability, architecture, programming language, etc. The survey shows that while there are a lot of simulators, there are many issues such as poor scalability, little or no documentation, no visualization, and no statistics limitations. The purpose of this paper is that we can select one of the existed P2P simulators as the foundation of simulation so as to carry out our research work properly on P2P system. In addition, we can design a new P2P simulator according to the criteria and requirements of P2P simulators.
