Summary :

In the network operator-friendly P2P traffic control technique such as P4P, peers are supposed to select their communication partners by following a guidance issued by the network operator. Thus, the guidance has significant impact on the traffic control. However, detailed performance study of available guidances is missing. Most existing approaches do not show how they affect intra-domain traffic control in detail while mostly focusing on inter-domain traffic control. In this paper, we try to understand how the guidances affect the intra and inter-domain traffic control for better guidance improving the traffic control. Through simulations, we reveal the following. The performance-based guidance reflecting the networking status shows attractive results in distributing the traffic over intra-domain links and in reducing the cross-domain traffic and the charging volume of inter-domain link compared to the distance-based guidance enforcing simple localization. However, the performance-based guidance shows one limitation that can cause unstable traffic control. To overcome the identified limitation, we propose peer-assisted measurement and traffic estimation approach. Then, we verify our approach through simulations.
