Modeling User Behavior in P2P Systems

  • Chapter
Modeling and Tools for Network Simulation

Abstract

The evaluation of peer-to-peer (P2P) systems is crucial for understanding their performance and therefore their feasibility in the real world. Different techniques, such as testbeds, analytical analysis, and simulations, can be used to evaluate system performance. For peer-to-peer systems, simulations are often the most reasonable approach, simply because P2P systems are both inherently large-scale and complex.
