# Are We Fast Yet

Parameters:

* Modes: BitTorrent, Codex Erasure-Coded, Codex Non-Erasure-Coded
* Swarm Size `(leechers, seeders)`:
* `# TODO look at some swarms and make sure this makes sense`
* size: 2, 8, 16, 32
* seeders: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
* file size: $100$MB, $1$GB, $5$GB

* Measurements:
* completion distribution (track individual blocks?)

* Scenario:
* start dedicated bootstrap node (Codex) or dedicated tracker (BitTorrent);
* start all nodes in swarm;
* upload files to seeders;
* start the download at the leechers;
* wait for download to complete at all nodes;
* export event logs as CSV.

* We'll deem the performance of the system to be close to BitTorrent if we're able to:
* we're no more than 20% slower than BitTorrent in all of the above scenarios.
