Abstract
In order to evaluate peer to peer systems, it became necessary to understand the external influences that occur on them. In this article we studied some of these influences from the client point of view, contrary to the usual server one. A characterization of several of those influent factors like the user's activity, or the repartition and size of files have been realized. In particular, the characteristics of requests in peer to peer file sharing systems and the computer power of the volonteers of peer to peer computing systems are approached. Finally we explain the methodology followed to obtain the availability of peer to peer systems volonteers computers.
