Overlay networks, such as P2P, Grid, and CDN, have been widely deployed over physical IP networks. Since simultaneous overlay networks compete for network resources, their selfish behaviors to improve their application-oriented QoS disrupt each other. To enhance the collective performance and improve the QoS at the application level, we consider so-called the overlay network symbiosis where overlay networks cooperate with each other. In this paper, we proposed a cooperative mechanism for hybrid P2P file-sharing networks, where peers can find more files and exchange files with more peers. Through simulation experiments, we verified the effectiveness of cooperation from view points of application and system.
