Comparative Analysis of Unstructured P2P File Sharing Networks

Abstract

Numerous P2P networks are available covering different areas of P2P technologies. Since P2P network overlays are good for creating large scale content distribution and data sharing applications, an ample amount of effort has been made to improve the performance of these networks. Moreover, rapid development of P2P technologies has left older technologies far behind. The goal of this paper is to study and present a comprehensive overview of some of these networks. Furthermore, a comparison of Unstructured P2P file sharing wired networks with their distinct characteristics has been presented. In this paper, various features of P2P networks have been studied that results in understanding the behavior of these protocols under different circumstances. A critical analysis of the state of art P2P networks has been made taking care of various significant features for both wired. The analysis presents the effectiveness of different systems in different circumstances. This research aims to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis of P2P file sharing protocols of wired networks.
