Abstract

Over the past decade BitTorrent has established itself as the virtual standard for P2P file sharing in the Internet. However, it is currently not possible to investigate BitTorrent with ns-3 due to the unavailability of an according application model. In this paper we eliminate this burden. We present a highly modular BitTorrent model which allows for the easy simulation of different BitTorrent systems such as file sharing as well as present and future BitTorrent-based Video-on-Demand systems.
