What information is gathered and when is it reported?
Statistics gathering in PeerEnabler is implemented similarly to that in a standard Web server, allowing publishers to create the usual download and utilization statistics. As soon as a download has finished, P2P Networking will store some specific information related to the download performed:
- The ID of the channel and the ID of the file.
- The number of bytes delivered via the PeerEnabler network.
- The number of bytes delivered by the fallback server.
- This information will be stored temporarily in order to allow its aggregation before forwarding it to the Joltid servers.
Forwarding the gathered data to Joltid servers happens in one of two ways:
- If the number of gathered statistics records has reached a certain threshold (for example, ten downloads).
- If the period of time passed since the first statistic record has become larger than the specified limit (for example, five hours).
What kind of data is stored? How is it stored?
All the gathered anonymous data is collected by Joltid servers from clients in the PeerEnabler network. It should be noted that all the collected statistics are non-personal, no identification of any individual users is performed. Data is stored in hourly granularity, so the exact time of a download is unknown. Such statistics allows for generating the following kinds of reports:
- Number of downloads of a particular file in a specified time period.
- Number of downloads of content in a particular channel.
- Total amount of delivered data via PeerEnabler and fallback server for a file or channel.
- Number of unique users (IP based) downloading a file or content in a channel.
