Abstract

Recently, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology has become one of the hottest topics in the research area of Internet. With a variety of P2P applications, especially those applications sharing large-size file resources among a large scale of user community, P2P brought us an even more exciting Internet life. However, P2P also made lots of troubles to network managers because of consuming too much network bandwidth sometimes. Lacking of effective management solution, some ISPs plan to block all P2P services on their network boundaries. In this paper, we propose a federation-based solution for peer-to-peer network management. By setting up a P2P federation, ISPs and P2P service providers can work together for P2P network management. From P2P federation service, ISPs can get P2P nodes information of their own network to make some control to those that disturb normal network services. At the same time, service providers of P2P may get routing information of specific ISPs to optimize the routing of P2P network itself by joining in federation. Under such scenario, it will save much cost for ISPs to detect and control P2P traffic and give up the idea of killing P2P services. Save and help to the development of P2P are the most important target of this solution.
