An ISP-friendly File Distribution Protocol Analysis, Design.pptVIP

Performance Modeling and Engineering Issues of BT-Like File Sharing Systems M.H. Lin, John C.S. Lui, D.M. Chiu The Chinese University of Hong Kong P2P Systems Many interesting and important services: File sharing (e.g., BT, Gnutella,..etc) P2P live streaming (e.g., PPLive, PPStream,…etc) P2P-VoD streaming A scalable and robust paradigm ISPs call it a “distributive technology” Users have control about routing Mess up the underlying traffic engineering Qiu[Sigcomm’04], Bin[ICNP’06] Massoulie[Sigmetrics’05] Lin[Performance’07] Huang[Sigcomm’08] P2P Traffic Trends (by CacheLogic Inc.) * Over 66% of P2P users traffic and …. growing Reasons for growth: economics Volume-based Charging Flat-rate charging Reasons for growth: economics CPs reduce their operating cost Users have good service performance Overview of BitTorrent Protocol Find the file you want to download Contact tracker, which returns a subset of peers The file is divided into chunks Exchange chunk with different peers Chunk selection: rarest first Incentive mechanism: tit-for-tat Since peers are selected randomly, it causes a lot of inter-ISP traffic ISP’s problem Increase in traffic implies increase in operating cost Need to increase their capacity Need to pay for the cross-ISP traffic P2P traffic affects other applications More traffic, but can’t get any profit. ISPs don’t want to “kill” or “filter” P2P What ISPs want: More money, of course ? Reduce operating cost ? Potential Solutions ISPs shape P2P traffic by blocking known port But P2P uses dynamic port ISPs use high performance router to inspect packets But P2P encrypts the payload ISPs use ``behavioral” to detect Still under study, can it be counter by P2P? ISPs cache the traffic Copyright and legal issues Previous approach ISPs guide peers when choosing neighbors Proposal by Bindal (ICDCS’06) and Aggrawal (CCR’07) P4P (Sigcomm 2008) Use CDN (Sigcomm 2008) Peers and ISPs have to trust each other It relies on the services of others, e.g., CDN Securit
