Replication in Bandwidth-Symmetric BitTorrent Networks

Overview The popular and well-known BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol offers fast file distribution in a highly scalable way. Several studies have investigated the properties of this protocol, mostly focusing on heterogeneous end-user environments such as the Internet, with asymmetric connections. This paper however focuses on the usage of the BitTorrent protocol in homogeneous local environments with symmetric bandwidth properties. Compared with a traditional client-server setup, the use of BitTorrent in such settings can offer huge benefits in performance and scalability, allowing bandwidth sharing and high speed file distribution. The paper aims to improve the performance of such networks with a novel mechanism for replication using so-called replicators, which replicate a subset of the files in the system.
