What Can P2P Do for Traffic Control in P2P Networks?

摘要

Recently, an ISP-driven cooperative approach is proposed to empowering ISPs for controlling traffic generated by P2P applications [?]. In this approach, an ISP and peers running a P2P application have a cooperative relationship where the ISP provides a guidance, i.e., network information to peers so that the peers select neighbors according to the guidance. This approach enables each party to gain better control and performance, e.g., ISPs gain a control over the P2P traffic, and peers accelerate the performance of the P2P application.
