Peer-to-Peer Traffic: Impact on ISPs and Evaluation of Traffic Management Tools

Overview One of the greatest properties of the Internet is that innovation can happen at the edge of the network without any involvement of the network itself. Unlike in many other networks, the core of the Internet does not need to be aware of the rise and fall of new applications. However, certain applications may cause such radical shifts in Internet traffic patterns, that some reaction is necessary in order to keep the Internet functioning efficiently. The most radical shift in traffic patterns in the history of the Internet can be attributed to the phenomenal popularity of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications. The first part of this paper investigates this phenomenon in more detail, focusing on the impact on broadband ISPs.
