Benchmarking Peer-to-Peer Systems: Understanding Quality of Service in Large-Scale Distributed Systems

Peer—to—peer systems are now widely used and have become the focus of attention for many researchers over the past decade. A number of algorithms for decentralized search, content distribution, and media streaming have been developed. This book provides fundamental concepts for the benchmarking of those algorithms in peer—to—peer systems. It also contains a collection of characteristic benchmarking results. The chapters of the book have been organized in three topical sections on: Fundament...
