Peer-to-Peer Architecture Case Study: Gnutella Network
Peer-to-Peer Architecture Case Study: Gnutella Network
Matei Ripeanu has studied the topology of Gnutella's application level network. The two major findings we focus on are: (1) although Gnutella is not a pure power-law network, its current configuration has the benefits and the drawbacks of a power-law structure, and (2) the Gnutella virtual network topology does not match well the underlying Internet topology, hence leading to ineffective use of the physical networking infrastructure.
