Abstract

Peer-to-peer swarming, as used by BitTorrent, is one of the de facto solutions for content dissemination in today's Internet. By leveraging resources provided by users, peer-to-peer swarming is a simple and efficient mechanism for content distribution. In this paper we survey recent work on peer-to-peer swarming, relating content popularity to three performance metrics of such systems: fairness, content availability/ self-sustainability and scalability.
