| Abstract | The peer-to-peer BitTorrent protocol is presented as a means for distributing content internally over a network, rather than relying on the traditional client-server protocols. Instead of establishing a single one-way stream of information, BitTorrent makes several connections to other clients that contain at least part of the desired information. This information is then simultaneously downloaded from and uploaded to the other clients in pieces. Using a server and several clients on a network, BitTorrent is clocked alongside two traditional protocols to determine which takes the least amount of time. Analysis of the various protocols ’ performance suggests that only three or four clients are needed for BitTorrent to complete the file transfers more quickly, the trend being that the time saved increases with the number of clients and the size of the content being transferred. |
