Pei R. Li, John C. S. Lui, Yinlong Xu · ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review · 2008
BitTorrent (BT) [1] is a P2P protocol designed for fast and efficient distribution of large files. Many factors contribute to the BT system dynamics, such as the arrival and departure of peers, and the terminations of connections when peers find better neighbors.
