Abstract: The popularity of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing applications such as Gnutella, Kazaa and eDonkey has created a considerable amount of research interest in P2P architectures. In order to evaluate a P2P network properly, we must take into account the topological properties of the network that have a significant impact on the design and implementation of a P2P system. In this paper, we present a thorough study about the topological properties of Gnutella network, which provides insight into the nature of underlying system, helps us design high performance algorithms and generates more realistic topologies for simulation experiments.
