Abstract
BitTorrent,
one of the distributed file sharing protocols, is regarded as one of the first
examples of decentralized Internet philosophy and is among the important
research areas in this context. TCP was initially used as the transport layer
protocol in BitTorrent, and the transition to the uTP protocol was made because
of the problems of latency and excessive bandwidth consumption. Later, with
WebTorrent, which is a BitTorrent protocol adapted to the web, WebRTC was
proposed as a transport layer protocol. Thus, BitTorrent protocol is enabled to
work directly through Internet browsers without using any plugin. In this
study, the data exchange sizes in the torrent shares of these three
transmission protocols have been compared and the advantages and disadvantages
of these protocols were demonstrated in this context.

Abstract
Dağıtık
dosya paylaşım protokollerinden BitTorrent, merkezi olmayan internet
felsefesinin ilk örneklerinden olarak kabul edilmekte ve bu bağlamda önemli
araştırma alanları arasında yer almaktadır. BitTorrent’te iletim katmanı
protokolü olarak başlangıçta TCP kullanılmış, gecikme ve bant genişliğinin
aşırı tüketilmesi problemlerinden dolayı uTP protokolüne geçiş yapılmıştır.
Daha sonra BitTorrent protokolünün Web’e uyarlanmış hali olan WebTorrent ile
iletim katmanı protokolü olarak WebRTC önerilmiştir. Bu sayede herhangi bir
eklenti kullanmadan doğrudan internet tarayıcıları üzerinden BitTorrent
protokolünün çalışması sağlanmıştır. Yapılan çalışmada, bu üç iletim
protokolünün torrent paylaşımlarındaki veri alışveriş boyutları
karşılaştırılmış ve bu bağlamda avantaj ve dezavantajları ortaya konulmuştur.
