Abstract

BitTorrent as one of the leading P2P file sharing applications has dominant traffic in broadband access networks. In this paper we present the main characteristics of BitTorrent traffic based on actual measurements taken from a commercial network. Analysis results at both application- and flow-levels are presented and discussed.

Keywords: traffic measurements traffic analysis BitTorrent
