P2PSimulator:一个通用P2P协议模拟器

P2PSimulator:a Generic P2P Protocol Simulator

点对点(Peer-to-Peer,P2P)技术作为分布式系统领域的一个新的热门技术,已经取得众多的研究成果。但是预想中的标准性基础构架系统并没有出现,研究者们设计了多种不同的协议,在不同的环境下进行试验,使得各个协议之间难以进行公平的对比评价。该文从自身的需要出发,设计并实现了一个通用的P2P协议模拟器P2PSimulator,一个跨平台、高效、支持蒙特卡罗方法、支持多种协议、高度可配置的通用模拟器框架,希望能够改变这种状况。

As a new hot research issue in the field of distributed system,Peer-to-Peer(P2P in short)technology has gathered lots of researchers and they have achieved many fruits.They have designed many protocols and evaluate their protocols in different environments.So it is hard to do a fair and comparable evaluation for these protocols and the expected standard infrastructure has not yet appeared.We started from the requirements of ourselves,design and implement a generic Peer-to-Peer protocol simulator called P2PSimulator.It is a cross platform,high efficency,surppoting Monte Carlo method,surppoting multiple protocol and highly configurable generic simulator for P2P systems,and hope to advance the research of P2P technology.
