The Afterglow effect and Peer 2 Peer networks

Peer to Peer networks (P2P) are heavily used for media sharing and distribution of files. Very few studies have looked at the effects and behaviors of these types of networks specifically during the period of time after the P2P connection has been terminated. This study will look specifically at this Afterglow period to look at the statistics related to the traffic seen during that period. Additionally qualitative methods will be used to look at this data for anomalies and malicious traffic.
