“…The framework of the P4P project is based on two main architectural entities: the itracker and the p-distance. With a thorough measurement analysis, [3] showed that regular BitTorrent is totally network-unaware, and they proposed that ISPs intercept P2P-traffic at edge routers and redirect them to P2P-clients within the same ISP. However, they do not investigate such a solution in detail.…”

“…1000 end user nodes are connected to the stub routes randomly, and the access bandwidth is distributed uniformly between 1~9 Mbps. The distance of each link in the stub network is distributed uniformly between [1,3], and the distance of each link between stub router and transit router is distributed uniformly between [10,15], and the distance of each link in the transit network is distributed uniformly between [20,90].…”

“…Recent studies showed that the routing mechanisms in P2P overlay networks always violate ISP routing policies, and average P2P bit traverses 1000 miles and 5.5 metro-hops [2]. 50%-90% of existing local pieces in active users are downloaded externally [3]. For one thing, these problems make P2P applications waste network resources and increase the difficulty of ISP network engineering; for the other, these problems also decrease the P2P application performance itself.…”

Abstract. More than half of today's Internet traffic is generated by P2P applications, and most of which is the BitTorrent file sharing traffic. The random neighbor selection mechanism of BT puts unprecedented pressure on the network operators and service providers. In this paper firstly we give a theoretical analysis on the impact of neighbor selection mechanism on BitTorrent performance as well as network resource cost. And then based on network performance prediction techniques, we propose a network performance aware BitTorrent traffic optimization mechanism NPA-BT, which uses network performance information to help overlay constructing. Simulation results show that NPA-BT can select peers in the same AS network and with good performance as neighbors, and thus the BitTorrent download time and the cross AS network traffic are all decreased.

“…Specifically, the inter-ISP transit cost (just as transit cost in the remainder of this paper) is increased over the entire network [5], [6]. To reduce transit cost, the locality-aware method has been proposed in [7] that controls network traffic based on the locality inferred from the IP address prefix or domain name. However, those types of information are not always suitable for estimating the locality of the Internet topology.…”

Previous researches have revealed that the overlay routing can improve user-perceived performance. However, it may also generate traffic unintended by ISPs, incurring additional monetary cost. In addition, since ISPs and end users have their own objectives respectively regarding traffic routing, overlay routing must be operated considering both standpoints. In the present paper, we propose a method to reduce inter-ISP transit costs caused by overlay routing from the both standpoints of ISPs and end users. To determine the relationships among ASes, which are required for ISP cost-aware routing, we construct a method to estimate a transit cost of overlay-routed paths from end-to-end network performance values. Utilizing the metric, we propose a novel method that controls overlay routing from the both standpoints of ISPs and end users. Through extensive evaluations using measurement results from the actual network environments, we confirm that the advantage of the proposed method whereby we can reduce the transit cost in the overlay routing and can control the overlay routing according to the objectives of both ISPs and end users.

“…A large fraction of current Internet traffic is due to peer to peer content distribution applications [5], in which participants are solely interested in the exchanged data rather than in the endpoint addresses of their peers. This indicates that the Internet is evolving from a network connecting pairs of end hosts to a substrate for information dissemination.…”

Abstract-In order for a Future Internet architecture to be globally deployed, it must ensure that existing applications will continue to operate efficiently on top of it. As part of the Publish Subscribe Internet Routing Paradigm (PSIRP) project, we have explored various options for making endpoint centric applications based on the Sockets Application Programming Interface (API) compatible with the information centric PSIRP prototype implementation. We developed an emulator that mediates between the client/server socket calls and the publish/subscribe PSIRP calls, transforming the exchange of packets to distribution of publications. To assess the overhead of our emulator, we measure the execution time of a simple file transfer application in native socket mode, in emulated socket mode and in native publish/subscribe mode.
