The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

In VINI veritas: realistic and controlled network experimentation (2006, methodology): “We have to ask if a programmable platform distributed over the whole nation is actually more realistic than backhauling end-user traffic to a central platform, like Emulab.”
Network Coding for Distributed Storage Systems (2007, background): “TheSkype superpeers [12]trace is based on application-level pings at 30-minute intervals to nodes in the Skype superpeer network, which may approximate the behavior of a set of well-provisioned endhosts, since superpeers may be selected in part based on bandwidth availability [12].”

Revealing skype traffic: when randomness plays with you (2007, methodology): “As the use of Skype spreads and increases in importance, ther is the need for tools and techniques to analyze Skype traffic, which recently drawn much interest of the research community [3, 4 , 5, 6, 7], as briefly overviewed in what follows.”
