Hi everyone,
I am new to the Gnutella network, but very interested in learning the behaviors of Gnutella clients. I am wondering if anyone know existing tools (like crawlers) that will crawling around the network(or a portion of it) and observe how Gnutella network behaves, what's the rate of successfully searches and downloads, do all Gnutella clients behave as they are supposed to according to the Gnutella protocol(ie: sending and responding ping, pong msgs etc.)
Any reply or help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks

Hope it helps.

It is too bad that Gnutella could not be monitored by mods+ like OpenNap servers can. But Gnutella holds A LOT more users than ANY OpenNap server.
