Abstract

Multi-source file transfer protocol (MFTP) is a popular file sharing tool used in peer-to-peer network these days. This research project compares the transitional file transfer protocol (FTP) and MFTP by analyzing how factors such as the transfer time, network's bottleneck bandwidth, and traffic load affect one another. Our simulation results show that MFTP is able to improve the overall system performance and outperform other contemporary file transfer methods. Many researches have been done to evaluate MFTP mathematically, however, this research project attempts to demonstrate that, by using empirical method, MFTP can be better evaluated in a more realistic approach.
