Abstract Peer‐to‐peer paradigm is more and more studied by the distributed computing community. Indeed, this type of architecture has interesting properties like the absence of centralized topology, fault tolerance or dynamic reorganization of the network. However, managing these networks is complex and the acceleration of the distributed applications is not ensured. That is why it is necessary to predict the performance as soon as possible in design and development phases, to bypass bottlenecks and to correct part of the applications that slow down the execution time. In this context, we propose P2PPerf: a simulation tool that aims at predicting performance and the execution time of a distributed application before its finalization. P2PPerf has been tested on JNGI: a P2P distributed computing application using the JXTA platform. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
