Enhancing Peer-to-Peer Traffic Locality through Selective Tracker Blocking

Haiyang Wang, Feng Wang, Jiangchuan Liu

Abstract: Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications, most notably BitTorrent (BT), are generating unprecedented traffic pressure to the Internet Service Providers (ISPs). To mitigate the costly inter-ISP traffic, P2P locality, which explores and promotes local peer connections, has been widely suggested. Unfortunately, existing proposals generally require that an ISP control the neighbor selection of most peers, which is often not practical in a real-world deployment given there are noncooperative trackers.
