Tutorial 3 Selected Answers Question 13: Consider a new peer User1 that joins BitTorrent without processing any chunks. Without any chunks, he cannot become a top-four uploader for any of the other peers, since he has nothing to upload. How then will User1 get his first chunk? In BitTorrent, a peer picks a random peer and optimistically unchokes the peer for a short period of time. Therefore, Alice will eventually be optimistically unchoked by one of her neighbors, during which time she will receive chunks from that neighbor. Question 14: In bitTorrent, suppose Alice provides chunks to Bob throughout a 30second interval. Will Bob necessarily return the favour and provide chunks to Alice in this same interval? Why or why not? It is not necessary that Bob will also provide chunks to Alice. Alice has to be in the top 4 neighbors of Bob for Bob to send out chunks to her; this might not occur even if Alice provides chunks to Bob throughout a 30second interval. Question 15: What is an overlay network? Does it include routers? What are the edges in the overlay network? The overlay network in a P2P file sharing system consists of the nodes participating in the file sharing system and the logical links between the nodes. There is a logical link (an “edge”) from node A to node B if there is a semi-permanent TCP connection between A and B. An overlay network does not include routers.
