[p2p-hackers] Re: Error correcting codes to prevent failure in BitTorrent like systems?

[Nigini Oliveira]

Hi ALL!

Don't know specifically about BitTorrent, but I've found a lot of results
talking about the gains of using ECC for improving the availability of data
at p2p networks:
http://www.citeulike.org/user/nigini/article/274016 (not readed)

These days I'm working on a paper's analisis that talks about using "Erasure
Codes" to do that (maybe one day I can finish my model on it):
http://www.citeulike.org/user/nigini/article/307402 (this is pretty hard to
understand)

Searching now I've found this one page work exposing some "interesting"
data:
http://dmi.ensica.fr/IMG/pdf/347.pdf

After I began to study about ECC this year I can't stop finding examples of
using them at network/computing world. But as Arnaud sad: " Such codes are
terribly sexy, but when it comes to real applications, things are far less
sexy." But as I didn't got yet that for BitTorrent the "less sexy" means
"don't needed", maybe the above work can inspire some answer.

"Até mais!"
