Comparison of Data Transfer Performance of BitTorrent Transmission Protocols
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.
