 \begin{abstract}
-This is the abstract of the paper.
+Peer-to-peer file sharing applications generate the largest amount of traffic
+in the Internet nowadays. Over the past few years there was a lot of research
+effort invested in this direction, analyzing and improving peer-to-peer
+applications such as BitTorrent, Kazaa or Shareaza but also developing new
+multiparty\cite{multiparty} protocols.
+
+This paper proposes a design for the SWIFT\cite{swift} generic multiparty
+transport protocol. Although it is an application layer protocol, our
+implementation resides at the kernel level. We believe that this approach
+would reduce the Operating System latency and would offer better performance
+than an userspace implementation such as a library. This paper also presents
+a performance comparison between our approach and the best currently existing
+solution, based on the \texttt{sendfile} system call.
