Abstract :
Since P2P systems have become popular in the late nineties, simulation of these systems has always been a preferable method of performance evaluation. Simulations facilitate the development and evaluation of ´newprotocols and mechanisms, while enabling a comparison of existing solutions. In this paper, we present PeerfactSim.KOM, a discrete-event P2P simulator that is suitable for a wide range of varying scenarios in the area of P2P. It consists of a layered architecture, provides a broad selection of P2P protocols for the modeled layers, and eases the implementation of new components through its modular design. In addition, the simulator provides helpful tools to configure and evaluate a simulation scenario.
