Abstract

The popularity of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing has resulted in large flows between different ISPs, which imposes significant transit fees on the ISPs in whose domains the communicating peers are located. The fundamental tradeoff faced by a peer-swarm is between free, yet delayed content exchange between intra-domain peers, and inter-domain communication of content, which results in transit fees. This dilemma is complex, since peers who possess the content dynamically increase the content capacity of the ISP domain to which they belong.
