Affluenza: Towards Universal Churn Generation

Churn is an inherent property of peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. Despite its relevance, yet, there is not a universal tool to bring researchers the opportunity to compare their contributions under the same general conditions. To fill this gap, we present the first open-source, simulator-independent tool for churn modeling.
