While some legal aspects of Peer-to-Peer networks are still heavily contended between the entertainment industry and some user groups, we focus on the technical aspects of this approach. ...
To analyze the properties, possibilities and limitations of pure Peer-to-Peer networks, we describe the Gnutella 0.4 protocol in this section. ...

A comparative analysis of web and peer-to-peer traffic
2008
Proceeding of the 17th international conference on World Wide Web - WWW '08
In addition to studying the aggregate P2P traffic, we also analyze and compare the two main constituents of P2P traffic in our data, namely BitTorrent and Gnutella. ...
The results presented in the paper may be used for generating synthetic workloads, gaining insights into the functioning of P2P applications, and developing network management strategies. ...
Acknowledgements The authors thank Jeffrey Erman, the anonymous WWW reviewers, iCORE, and NSERC. ...

Free riding on Gnutella
2000
First Monday
By sampling messages on the Gnutella network over a 24-hour period, we established that nearly 70% of Gnutella users share no files, and nearly 50% of all responses are returned by the top 1% of sharing ...
An extensive analysis of user traffic on Gnutella shows a significant amount of free riding in the system. ...
Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Rajan Lukose, Lada Adamic, Ed Chi, and Pam Schraedley for valuable discussions. We also thank Sara Dubowsky for her late night editorial help. ...

Analyzing the Characteristics of Gnutella Overlays
2007
Fourth International Conference on Information Technology (ITNG'07)
The properties of degree-rank distribution and frequency-degree distributions of the measured topology graphs are analyzed in detail. ...
Mapping and analyzing the topological properties of P2P overlay network will benefit the further design and development of the P2P networks. ...
These analyzing methods could help to understand the topological characteristics of Gnutella in detail, which has been an open problem in P2P network modeling and measurements. ...

The Darknet and the Future of Content Protection
[chapter]
2003
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper we categorize and analyze existing and future darknets, from both the technical and legal perspectives. ...
In view of this hypothesis, we examine the relevance of content protection and content distribution architectures. ...
Recent measurements of libraries shared by gnutella peers indicate that the majority of content is provided by a tiny fraction of the hosts [1] . ...

The Economics of Peer-to-Peer Networks
2003
Social Science Research Network
We show that while the characteristics of services provided over P2P networks are similar to public goods and club goods, they have many important differences and hence there is a need for new theoretical ...
Many new networks are being established and thousands of users are part of such P2P networks. In this chapter, we outline some important economic characteristics of these networks. ...
For example, Adar and Huberman (2000) find that 70% of peers on the Gnutella network do not provide songs and that the top 1% of sharing hosts return 50% of all responses. ...

Experimenting with Gnutella Communities
[chapter]
2002
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The experimental results presented have been obtained from a Java implementation of Gnutella running in the open Internet environment, and thus in unknown and quickly changing network structures heavily ...
This paper discusses various practical experiments undertaken to investigate the behavior of a real system, the Gnutella network, which represents such a community. ...

Bootstrapping in Gnutella: A Measurement Study
[chapter]
2004
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In this paper, we study the bootstrapping process of a peer in the Gnutella network. ...
We find that (1) there is considerable variation among various servent implementations, and hence in their bootstrapping performance. (2) The neighbors of a peer, which are the outcome of the bootstrapping ...
bootstrapping process in the Gnutella servents we analyzed, and the functioning of the GWebCache system. ...

A Statistical Study of Today's Gnutella
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
As a developing P2P system, Gnutella has upgraded its protocol to 0.6, which significantly changed the characteristics of its hosts. ...
Our measurements show that the assumption that query arrival follows Poisson distribution may not be true in Gnutella and most peers incline to share files of very limited types, even when MP3 files are ...
We are also in the process of building file spreading models for Gnutella. ...

on the phenomenon of users moving from Napster to Gnutella and the hybrids in the wake of the court-imposed restrictions on Napster. ...
There are few reliable statistics on the extent of filesharing on Napster and Gnutella. ...
