Stanford P2P Group Releases Software and Analysis

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-think-about dept.

Bert690 writes "Apropos of yesterday's Slashdot story on BitTorrent: Some folks at Stanford have released a paper on P2P "bucket brigade"-like streaming that contains *an actual analysis* and a downloadable implementation." Could this be considered actual research on the subject of p2p networks and scalability?

    I bet the only reason they did this research is they didn't have enough time between sutdying and partying to mess around with multiple p2p progs. They gotta get their fill of divx movies somehow!

    Considering what "P2P" is primarily used for, they really couldn't have picked a better name.
