Abstract :
P2P technology is promising for large-scale content distribution over the Internet. Evaluating and analyzing new and existing algorithms and protocols is a key issue for developers of P2P systems. Simulation has become one of the most popular tools comparing to mathematical modeling, analytical modeling and real-time monitoring. In this paper, we overview the large number of P2P simulators developed in recent years according to some criterias. Since the poor state of existing P2P simulators causes much published research to make use of custom built simulators, which further complicates the task of validating research and reproducing results. It is time to build a consensus on the common platform for P2P research.
