Security Analysis of Peer-to-Peer Network Topology Based on Gephi Platform: P2P Network Security Analysis via Gephi

Abstract

∗In recent years, peer-to-peer (P2P) system has been widely used in the Internet. The security research for the network will provide guarantee for its stable operation. Based on Gephi platform, this paper deeply studies the complex P2P network topology, and gives the countermeasures and suggestions of network protection. The specific method is: take the complex P2P network of Gnutella protocol as the sample, through the Gephi platform, this paper analyzes the network topology node’s in degree, out degree and overall degree, and gives the network node’s protection strategy. The results show that although the nodes in P2P network do not distinguish between server and client, each node still tends to play one of the roles, and the network shows an obvious community structure, so the network can still adopt focused protection strategies.
