Peer-to-peer networks have had a lot of interest over the last few years, and are becoming extremely large, growing to upwards of hundreds of thousands of users.
The massive size of peer-to-peer networks and their decentralised architecture both make testing new protocols very difficult - coordinating tests with thousands of participants is infeasible, and lowering the number of participants could lead to inaccuracies in analysis.
Simulation allows us to take control of all test parameters, and remove the difficulty of deploying the new protocol into a real-world network.
However, one problem in simulation of peer-to-peer networks is resource consumption; how do we simulate a large network whilst retaining an accurate model?
Distributed simulation helps to balance the load across multiple computers, each running part of the simulation and communicating with each other.
This project is focused on the development of a distributed simulator for peer-to-peer networks, which will be used to implement and analyse several routing/search protocols.
