Bandwidth Barriers to Gnutella Network Scalability
Clip2 Distributed Search Services
September 8, 2000
Summary
The scalability of a Gnutella network to accommodate more users performing
more searches is limited by the lowest bandwidth links prevalent within the
network. Usage of the public Gnutella network has grown to the point that
a "Dial-Up Modem Barrier" has been hit, with the result that network usability
has degraded considerably.
It's not very long, but an interesting read.
