Abstract

Recently, Bit Torrent (BT) has emerged as one of the most popular peer to peer (P2P) protocol. It can distribute large amounts of data over geographically dispersed recipients. The original content provider is not required to incur the entire bandwidth and hardware resources cost, instead, each recipient provides pieces of the content to other recipients, reducing the load and dependence on the source especially at flash crowd periods. BT design policies along with peers' behaviors have a great impact on the performance of BT systems. Several research studies have been conducted to answer questions raised about the performance of BT systems and their vulnerabilities to different attacks. The paper provides a characterization to BT content distribution systems based on these previous research studies. It introduces the different BT features and discusses their impact on the different BT performance characteristics.
