p2psim: Roll Your Own P2P Protocol

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-this-does-error-checking-and-this-is-the-31337-part dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "p2psim is a free, multi-threaded, discrete event simulator developed at MIT to evaluate and investigate p2p protocols. You can quite easily add your own p2p protocol and compare it with others to make sure it runs well before you write the real thing. p2psim runs in Linux and FreeBSD."

    Hmmm, both p2p and "rolling your own" are two things that people could make a lot of money off of if they just made it legal :-)

  2. How complete is it? by DJProtoss · · Score: 5, Funny

    I mean, does it contain a simulated RIAA that will come and sue you for distribution of copyrighted simulated material?

    Does p2psim simulates RIAA suing you? This would be the "de facto" p2p simulator.

      no, it just sends you a form letter via email demanding your current life savings and says that if you respond to their blackmail they will leave you alone.

  4. What about the cost? by the+real+darkskye · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do you have to pay a virtual SCO for every virtual linux node on the virutal network?

    Its a virtual post, but I have karma to burn off.
