A significant part of Internet traffic today is generated by peer-to-peer applications, used traditionally for file sharing, and more recently for real-time communications and live media streaming. Such applications discover a route to each other through an overlay network with little knowledge of the underlying network topology. As a result, they may choose peers based on information deduced from empirical measurements, which can lead to suboptimal choices. We refer to this as the application-layer traffic optimization (ALTO) problem and present a survey of existing literature. We summarize and compare existing approaches, identify open research issues, and state the need for layer cooperation as a solution to the ALTO problem.
