Integrated Measurement and Analysis of P2P Streaming Traffic by the Java Tool Atheris

To respond to the rapid deployment of P2P overlay structures, we have developed a comprehensive P2P traffic analysis concept. Following a modular object-oriented software design, the concept has been used to develop the new versatile, extensible JAVA measurement and analysis tool Atheris. We are convinced that an integrated on-line P2P monitoring and analysis system like the demonstrated tool Atheris can provide a deeper insight into the dynamics of new P2P based multimedia applications, reveal weaknesses of a P2P overlay system and support the fast development of appropriate teletraffic models of the exchanged control and content flows, both with regard to the packet and session levels as well as the structural level of the overlay
