Modelling P2P Networks
Nathan Kennedy writes: "Mihajlo A. Jovanovic did his Master's project at the University of Cincinnati on modelling P2P networks with Gnutella as a case study. You view his project along with source code, stunningly pretty pictures, an applet and a paper on scalability."
- Most people who use P2P networks have high speed connections.
- Most people with high-speed connections have firewalls.
- P2P is a major security risk, and the only way to get a P2P connection going is to let your firewall drop its guard for a second.
Therefore, P2P is a major security risk. What's wrong with client-server? I think it's great.-Evan
