Mathematical Analysis of Gnutella

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the it-warrants-mentioning dept.

jrp2 sent in a paper written by one of Napster's founding engineers. It is a mathematical evaluation of Gnutella discussing why the network won't be able to scale up to any reasonable size. I have been impressed with Gnutella in the past, and have wondered along these same lines in the past.
