File sharing using BitTorrent:

BitTorrent:

A communication protocol for peer to peer file sharing which is used to distribute data and electronic files over the internet.

P2P Files sharing application stands for Peer to Peer file sharing applications which use P2P file transfer protocol to allow users to access and share media files using peer to peer networking technology.

Let’s a new peer Alice joins BitTorrent without processing any chunks. Also, without any chunks, Alice cannot become a top four uploader for any other peers as she was nothing to upload...

In the BitTorrent P2P file distribution protocol, the seed breaks the file into blocks, and the peers redistribute the blocks to each other. Without any protection, an attacker can easily wreak havoc in a torrent by masquerading as a benevolent peer and sending bogus blocks to a small subset of peers in the torrent. These unsuspecting peers then redistribute the bogus blocks to other peers, which in turn redistribute the bogus blocks to even more peers. Thus, it is critical for BitTorrent to have a mechanism that allows a peer to verify the integrity of a block, so that it doesn’t redistribute bogus blocks. Assume that when a peer joins a torrent, it initially gets a .torrent file from a fully trusted source. Describe a simple scheme that allows peers to verify the integrity of blocks.
Consider a new colleague.Alice who joins BitTorrent but does not have any piecesShe can't become a top-four uploader for any of the other peers if she doesn't have any chunks to post.So, how will Alice receive her first bite?
Let your key be the IP address 234.10.90.0 and you want to hash it and then put it in a slot in the hash table with size 257. Do this using Modulo Primes Method and Polynomial Hash. Write all the details.
