    A general purpose simulator for unstructured P2P networks and a sample application
    (Milli Savunma Üniversitesi Alparslan Savunma Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2009) Karakaya, Kasım Murat; Ulusoy, Özgür; Körpeoğlu, İbrahim
    Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are recently becoming very popular and successful alternative for resource sharing and content distribution. Thus, there have been many proposals to improve their performance. However, since a P2P network consists of many nodes, thousands or millions, it is hard to evaluate the performance of a P2P network and some related protocols analytically using only mathematical models. Most often we need to design simulations. Therefore it is important to have a simulation tool specifically designed for P2P network and protocol simulation. We developed such a tool, and in this paper we present the design and implementation of this simulation tool, which we call GnuSim. The paper includes both the simulation model details and its application in a sample research. This work will be useful for researchers conducting simulation study in P2P systems domain.
