Abstract -
Peer to peer networks are venerable to various types of attacks. These attacks degrade the performance of the P2P based network.in this paper, we have presented the effect of Grey-hole attack especially in the case of BitTorrent based VoD services .we have simulatedGrey-hole attacks and studied the effect of anumber of malicious nodes in apeer network of various swarm sizes. The number of attacking nodes taken was 1, 2, and 3 whereas the size of swarms was 10, 20 and 30. Also, another important parameter taken into consideration for studying the effect was thetotal number of seeders. We have taken observation for attack simulations for various scenarios depending upon swarm size, numbers of seeder and number of attack nodes.
