Peer-to-Peer Simulators Architecture and Design Methodology

P2P network simulation is used widely as a key tool of P2P network protocol analysis, development and research on p2p application behavior. This paper compare and contrast the simulators, which are commonly used in the P2P network simulation, conducts in-depth analysis of the architecture, performance and design methodology, and analyze the feature of the simulated P2P applications , which provide a great choice to study and use of the P2P network simulator.
