Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Default A gnutella simulator - need statistics

hi everyone,
I am trying to create a simulator for a p2p network
based on a gnutella servent, therefore i am looking for statistics on p2p networks, what i would like to know is the average time a peer is seen on the network, what is the probability of a message failure, probability of routing errors, number of dropped messages etc. in short i wold like to simulate a network that is as close as possible to the real world.

any advise?
Thanks,
feliz

The best real world data you can collect on that is by using an existing client, with some modifications to record everything you need. Gnucleus or the open-source LimeWire are good starting points - or check out www.gnutelladev.com for some more clients which you can modify to suit your needs. If you're not too keen on programming, things obviously change and you'll have to either continue your quest (by asking people here for example) or get that dusty programming book off the shelf.

It might actually be a nice pet project for someone - a lot of people have asked about a 'simulator', something that just collects a lot of data so you can use it for your write-up or other purposes. Most current developers are more inclined to develop something more practical for average end-users.

Default gnutella simulator (cont.)

ok then,
i will keep on looking for those statistics, but in the meanwhile would you guys care to brain storm a bit?

would should i look for when trying to simulate a p2p environment?

i guess i should use ping messages to find out if my neighbors are still around and record that, as well as the time each servent was in my cache and the number of messages each peer sent through me, but how can i check for message failure, how can i decide whether i received no reply to my query due to servent failure, congestion, lack of information etc.

any ideas?

Did you ever get your statistics collection client built? I am looking for the same. I (and others I know) would be willing to pay for such a client.

G,

Here are just a few of the many metrics I'm looking for.





a) Histogram of search term queries over time (I've seen
gnutellameter, but that's just a chart, and just of the present)
b) Graph of "average responses per second" returned for the top N
search terms
c) Metrics on available download slots, incomplete downloads due to
clients leaving the network, etc...
d) Breakdown of different gnutella clients and versions
e) Histogram of "most downloaded files"
f) Some way of measuring how fast various new files on the network
can spread.


If you're interested to discuss further, please e-mail me directly at cloneboy5@hotmail.com

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi abazebe. Not sure you will get any answers from the above group as this thread is 6 years old.
You might pose your question over at this Forum. Some of the LW developers hang out there on occasion.
