Abstract

In the BitTorrent system, seed nodes, especially initial seed nodes play a very important role in the entire file uploading and downloading process, and provide most of the file block upload services. In this paper, by researching several seed-based file block distribution strategies, a kind of improved seed overlay network is proposed, which is on the basis of reducing the seed average upload cost and balancing the seed load. It improves the overall system performance through improving the file block distribution efficiency of the entire system and integrating CBT technology. Simulation result shows that the download speed and the system performance have been markedly improved.
