= Research = 

Please read the Tribler overview in our scientific 
[https://www.tribler.org/attachment/wiki/File/CPE-Tribler-final.pdf?format=raw Journal publication].
Note that this publication reflects an older version of Tribler, all the latest research findings are listed below.

= Completed and operational =

 * '''[wiki:Give-To-Get]''': Video-on-Demand protocol to stream Bittorrent videos
 * '''[wiki:PermID]''': ''Perm''anent ''Id''entifier of peers to enhance the security of Bittorrent
 * '''MerkleHashes''': Secure identifiers of content which removes the need for .torrent files
 * '''OverlaySwarm''': A secure method of communication between peers in different swarms
 * '''CooperativeDownload''': Double your download speed by sharing upload capacity amongst friends
 * '''[wiki:DecentralizedRecommendation Content search & recommendation]''': Websites for finding .torrent files are no longer needed, Tribler knows what you like and finds it

 * '''[wiki:VideoOnDemand]''': Video on Demand: 3 second start time, HDTV support, single click play

}}}

 * '''[wiki:GUIconcepts]''': Simply make it look stunning. Add Friends, Previews, Messages, etc. [https://www.tribler.org/browser/abc/branches/mtenbrinke/flash_demo/tribler.swf?format=raw (Flash demo)]
 * '''DistributedTracker''': Replacing the bittorrent tracker with a gossip protocol
 * '''SocialOverlay''': Comparing the p2p network with the social network
 * '''[wiki:P2PWebhosting P2PWebhosting]''': Challenges of P2P content hosting
 * '''[wiki:Moderation]''': Clean and rich metadata for swarms
 * '''[wiki:SocioCast]''': Social extension with friends and voting on moderators
 * '''[wiki:SuperSeeding]''': (Bernard) Hashing and memory problems when seeding 5000+ files
 * '''[wiki:NATtraversal]''': Connect to peers without hindrance of NAT and Firewall equipment
 * '''BarterCast''': a protocol to exchange the altruism levels of peers. Altruism is defined as the amount of uploading versus downloading of a person
 * '''[wiki:Buddycast3 Buddycast3]''': This version of !BuddyCast adds ratings, comments, faster .torrent collecting, access to more content due to RSS subscription integration, and superior scalability
 * '''TagBasedRecommendation''': How to do tag based recommendation in a distributed environment

 * '''[wiki:SwarmSize]''': Tracking the popularity of content with robustness
 * '''MultipleDescriptionCoding''': Split video into separate streams that can be decoded individually
 * '''MultiBitrateSupport''': Support multiple bitrates in a single swarm and maximize video quality under dynamic download speed constraints
 * '''[wiki:DownloadPerformance]''': Performance analysis of the download core and implementation improvements
 * '''[wiki:SupervisedTeaming]''': (Boudewijn) Removing free-riding by forcing team-members to upload to each other. Positive side affect: allows removal of team members that do not meet upload speed requirements
 * '''[wiki:triblerGUIBandwidthSharing GUIBandwidthSharing]''': Show the good and bad (upload) behavior of peers using tables and graphs 
 * '''[wiki:FullIncentivisation]''': Provide an incentive for all 9 actions in P2P such as uploading, search, staying online, port forwarding, ..
 * '''[wiki:ClickLog]''': The foundation for a Google-like efficient keyword search algorithm in a zero-server setting
 * '''[wiki:SwarmDynamics]''': Prototype of visualising in real-time the upload and download dynamics of peers around you in swarms
 * '''[wiki:SimilarityFunction]''': Calculate the taste similarity of peers around you and foundation for a semantic overlay
