Abstract

Peer‐to‐peer (P2P) file sharing is a leading Internet application. Millions of users use P2P file‐sharing systems daily to search for and download files, accounting for a large portion of Internet traffic. Due to their scale, it is important to fully understand how these systems work. We analyze user queries and shared files collected on the Gnutella system, draw some conclusions on the nature of the application, and propose some research problems.
