Content availability and bundling in swarming systems

Daniel Sadoc Menasché, Antônio Alencar Rocha, Bin Li, Don Towsley, Arun Venkataramani

Abstract

BitTorrent, the immensely popular file swarming system, suffers a fundamental problem: unavailability. Although swarming scales well to tolerate flash crowds for popular content, it is less useful for unpopular or rare files as peers arriving after the initial rush find the content unavailable.
