File-Sharing Preference in a Peer-to-Peer Network

Peer-to-peer network describes a typical complex network upon which users connect together according to their sharing preference, indicated by the resources they shared. In this article, we apply analytic methods from complex networks theory to investigate the sharing preference of users as well as the correlations between different resource categories in a real peer-to-peer file sharing system, which is helpful for getting more insight into rapid development of peer-to-peer network applications.
