Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing has become the killer application in
the wired Internet and might also be highly attractive for mobile
networks. In particular since UMTS operators are searching for new
applications which do both: a) exploit the potential of the UMTS
technology and b) motivate the user to adopt the new technology.
In this work we are investigating the performance of an eDonkey-based
mobile P2P file-sharing system by means of time-dynamic simulation.
Mobile networks differ from wireline networks by the limited capacity
of the radio link and the mobility of the users. P2P networks, in
contrast, are overlays which consider the transport network in an
abstract way. In a mobile environment, the question arises, whether the
abstraction can be maintained and what will be the performance impact
if there is any. We will show in detail how the mobile access
technology (GPRS or UMTS), the churn behavior of mobile users, the file
size of mobile specific content, and special infrastructure entities,
such as a cache peer, influences the performance of the suggested
mobile P2P file-sharing service.
