The relevant information in article is BitTorrent sharing network and their system requirements, therefore to conclude the global view of the BitTorrent network. BitTorrent is a peer to peer file sharing system for exchanging content in the form of files and the process of file sharing contains three levels, the peer level, the swarm level and the community level. As described in the paper, the peers are comprised in the first level and then groups together in a P2P system in the swarm level; in the end, they all come to a BitTorrent deployment, which allow the peers interested in exchanging the same content to start collaborating.
The information in this paper gives great reference about how BitTorrent operate and the requirement of the system. Despite the purpose of this paper is for scientific and system optimization purpose. The advantage of this paper refers to how BitTorrent file sharing network operate - as it generate massive traffic volumes, it is deployed in thousands of independent communities.
The only limitation of this paper to my study that is not gives any concerns about the file sharing network in BitTorrent technology platform.
