Abstract: </P> The eDonkey 2000 file-sharing network is one of the most successful peer-to-peer file-sharing applications, especially in Germany.

In this paper we describe the eDonkey protocol and measurement results on network/transport layer and application layer that were made with the client software and with an open-source eDonkey server we extended for these measurements.<BR>
