Abstract :
In this paper we introduce an active-probing approach that measures the eDonkey (eDonkey 2000) network by using an experimental client developed for this purpose. Our approach collects information from the eDonkey network by issuing queries for files. Based on this technique, we present our experiment and the results that evaluate the capacity of the eDonkey network and characterize the distribution of servers, clients, and files, considering within the English/Chinese context when applicable
