Survey of Network Coding Based P2P File Sharing in Large Scale Networks

Abstract

Peer-to-peer (P2P) content distribution and file sharing systems aim to facilitate the dissemination of large files over unreliable networks. Network coding is a transmission technique that has captured the interest of researchers because of its ability to increase throughput and robustness of the network, and decrease the download time. In this survey paper, we extensively summarize, assess, compare, and classify the most recently used techniques to improve P2P content distribution systems performance using network coding. To the best of our knowledge, this survey is the first comprehensive survey that specifically focuses on the performance of network coding based P2P file sharing systems.

“…Thus, a node can transmit functions of the messages previously received on the incoming edges to the outgoing ones. Over the last decades, there has been an increasing interest in network coding theory [148]- [150] and its applications [151]- [159].…”
