Abstract
Maze is a P2P file sharing system, which is developed, deployed and operated by our academic research team. With control over source code, we can leverage Maze as a large-scale measurement platform. By analyzing more than 600 million user shared files, as much as 100 million download session and users’ online state for 4 months, this paper gives a complete study on file characteristics and user behavior in Maze system. Some valuable conclusions are derived from this measurement, which provide the first hand stuff to understand P2P system behavior.
