bayPIGgies meeting Thursday 7/10: P2P/BitTorrent data mining with Python and C by Niall O'Higgins

The BitTorrent protocol is estimated to account for 18-35% of traffic on the Internet. This talk will give an introduction to the protocol, why it has been so effective compared to other P2P systems, and what its limitations are. We will then cover what features make Python an excellent tool to power large scale data mining and analysis of P2P networks. Finally, we will present some results of the quantitive analysis of BitTorrent conducted by the Peer-to-Peer Research Institute.
