|
In the past few years, there has been intense interest
in designing and studying peer-to-peer networks. Many
initial measurement studies on current deployed peer-to-peer
networks attempted to understand their performance
[10, 11, 12]. However, the large size and complex nature
of these networks make it difficult to analyze their properties.
Simulation of these peer-to-peer networks enables a
methodical evaluation and analysis of their performance.
However, to our knowledge, there is no tool for simulating
different peer-to-peer network protocols for a comparative
study. We present p-sim: a tool that can simulate peer-to-peer networks on top of representative Internet topologies.
p-sim has several capabilities to provide an accurate
model of real-world peer-to-peer networks. p-sim can scale
to thousands of nodes and is extensible to simulate new
peer-to-peer network protocols. In this paper, we discuss
the capabilities of p-sim, its user-interface and two case-studies.
