File Sharing Applications Engineering (Hardcover)

The book offers a self-contained discussion about file-sharing
systems from an engineer's point of view. Its main scope is to
rationalise the engineering process at the basis of peer-to-peer
(p2p) file-sharing systems. The work analyses the architectural
blueprints, the design choices, the internals, the core algorithms,
their interaction with the underlying network infrastructure and
some of the major findings of the scientific community. With such
foundations, it will be straightforward to understand the main
behaviours of these systems, their strengths and weaknesses and to
correctly evaluate the resulting traffic patterns. As a consequence
of the widespread diffusion of file-sharing applications, of their
impact over the network in terms of traffic load, and of the kind
of content conveyed, different parties are interested in the topic.
Specifically: academics and researchers, students, network
administrators and businessmen. The major topics covered in the
book are: a quick historical revision of file-sharing applications;
an introduction to the p2p communication paradigm, focusing on
aspects strictly related to their adoption to engineer file-sharing
applications; the analysis of the basic components and the core
functionalities needed to implement an effective file-sharing
service; a discussion about problems arising due to the lack of
transparency in the modern Internet and the main traversal
techniques available; the investigation of the most popular
heuristics employed to force file-sharing users to play an active
role within the overall service; a detailed dissertation on eMule
and BitTorrent applications, "specialising" the theory presented in
the rest of the book; client interface modifications, tweaks and
optimisation applied to file-sharing architectures; traffic
analysis of file sharing applications: results, methodologies and
tools; a quick investigation of the source code of the most popular
client interfaces (with hints at protocol implementation, possible
modifications to enhance performances, and data gathering to
conduct research and to exploit system optimisation).
