Descriptive agent-based modeling of the "BitTorrent" P2P protocol
Among many P2P networks, BitTorent is very famous for sharing files over a network. In this chapter, we proposed modeling and simulation of the BitTorrent protocol by using a combination of agent-based and complex network-based approaches. The simulation results demonstrate that our proposed ABM-based BitTorrent model performedbetter. Furthermore, forABM specification, we followed two approaches, first is ODD and the second one is DREAM methodology. We presented qualitative as well as a quantitative comparison of both ODD and DREAM specification techniques. The comparative study of ODD and DREAM proved that DREAM methodology is the more useful approach for documenting an ABM not only in terms of modeling but also for replication of the models, specifically for P2P networks.
