Overview

BitMON is a tool for automatic monitoring of the distributed hash table (DHT) introduced by the peer-to-peer (P2P) network BitTorrent. A DHT enables access to key-value-pairs, distributedly stored by a self-organizing P2P-network. BitTorrent uses its DHT to find owners of a specified file without relying on any central machine (which is also called tracker).

BitMON integrates measurement, analysis and graphical visualization within one tool. All of those steps are performed by BitMON fullautomatically including archiving of results. BitMON was developed as a framework and can easily be extended by new kinds of measurements or analysis modules. BitMON's source code is available on request.  

BitMON uses JKad as Kademlia library.
