As peer-to-peer (P2P) emerges as a major paradigm for scalable network application design, it is also posing significant new challenges to achieving efficient and fair utilization of Internet network resources. In particular, without the ability to explicitly communicate with network providers, P2P applications may lead to inefficient network resource usage and/or low application performance. In this talk, I will describe a simple, light-weight framework called P4P to allow more effective cooperative traffic control between network applications and network providers. A DCIA working group named P4PWG has been formed to prompt the adoption of the architecture. Link to a paper:
