Abstract

Nowadays BitTorrent is a popular peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. Thanks to the advancement and prevalence of smart phones the usage of the protocol is increasing, since mobile devices are capable of joining BitTorrent swarms as well. The key of the protocol is to distribute content between peers therefore it is very important that peers have reliable network connections and provide the correct content. In this paper we analyze the reliability of BitTorrent protocol in mobile environment by observing the availability rate of peers and the poisoning phenomenon in the system. For this research we have collected anonymous statistics retrieved by clients using DrTorrent. DrTorrent is a BitTorrent client that we have implemented on the Android platform. It was published on Google Play Store almost half a year ago and we have collected many experiences since then. In this research we introduce statistics and real measurements about DrTorrent and highlight the key points and relationships. This work can be considered as a pioneer work in the field of modern smart phone peer-to-peer research.

现代移动环境下bt协议可靠性分析

如今，BitTorrent是一种流行的点对点文件共享协议。由于智能手机的进步和普及，协议的使用正在增加，因为移动设备也能够加入BitTorrent群。协议的关键是在对等体之间分发内容，因此，对等体之间具有可靠的网络连接并提供正确的内容是非常重要的。本文通过观察系统中节点的可用性和中毒现象来分析BitTorrent协议在移动环境下的可靠性。为了这项研究，我们收集了使用DrTorrent的客户端检索的匿名统计数据。DrTorrent是我们在Android平台上实现的一个BitTorrent客户端。它是半年前在Google Play Store上发布的，从那以后我们收集了许多经验。在本研究中，我们介绍了DrTorrent的统计和实际测量，并强调了关键点和关系。这项工作可以被认为是现代智能手机点对点研究领域的先驱工作。
