Question

In BitTorrent, if Alice provides chunks to Bob throughout a 30-second interval, Bob will return the favor and provide chunks to Alice in the same interval only if she is one of the top four neighbors to Bob during this interval.

True or False?

Answer 1

False, as it is not necessary for Bob to return the chunks to Alice in the same interval in Bit Torrent.

Step-by-step explanation:

• This can be done, if Alice is at the top neighbors list of Bob.

• Then Bob needs to send a message to Alice.
• This scenario can occur even if Alice not provide the chunks in the 30 second interval to Bob
• Hence, the answer for the given question might be False. As this is a case of may or may not happen.
