Abstract

In this study, we measure, model and analyze characteristics of traffic flows of P2P application Maze by capturing real traffic from an operational network. Maze is a P2P file-sharing system with a centralized, cluster-based search engine and a social network among peers. We report the models for flow arrival interval, flow size, flow duration and flow rate of Maze traffic flows. With the growing of peer-to-peer traffic, understanding traffic models and characteristics of peer-to-peer applications will benefit network design, traffic control procedure as well as network simulation.
