This dissertation is to document with the intention to prepare and provide an insight to Bit Torrent Networking. The topic for the dissertation is Analyzing The Impact of Swarm Size and Peer Uplink Capacity for Bit Torrent Networking Performance. The purpose of this dissertation is to give a better insight about Bit Torrent, which would be doing for my final year project. As Bit Torrent is a large portion of networking especially peer to peer networking, there is only a surface of understanding about Bit Torrent performance. This dissertation is would use lab experimental and software to simulate the Bit Torrent performance with a small, medium and large swarm of users. The methodology would use the simulation to explore the performance of Bit Torrent networking as the size of the swarm expands. Besides that, this dissertation project would also deep dive into what would happen to the Bit Torrent performance if the network bandwidth of the swarm is low and the impact it may have on the average Bit Torrent performance. With the initial studies and previous reference as well as the lab experiments, it would provide a better insight on the performance for Bit Torrent networking with the impact of different swarm size, data chunk size, the uplink capacity as well as the comparison with client-server architecture.
