Collaboration between Peering ISPs for Economic Management of Overlay Traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SIS (SmoothIT Information Service) entity has been introduced by FP7 project SmoothIT, to support Economic Traffic Management (ETM) for overlays. It is employed by ETM mechanisms in order to convey information between the overlay application and the underlay network. In this paper we present two different ways of cooperation between the SIS entities of different ISPs, in the case that these two ISPs maintain a peering agreement with each other.

Collaboration between ISPs for Efficient Overlay Traffic Management
As peer-to-peer (P2P) applications (e.g. BitTorrent) impose high costs to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) due to the large volumes of interdomain traffic generated, extensive research work has been done concerning locality-awareness approaches. Although such approaches are based on properties of the physical network topology, they take very little consideration of the real business relationsh...

متن کاملInternet Interconnection Economic Model and its Analysis: Peering and Settlement
Peering and transit are two types of Internet interconnection among ISPs. Peering has been a core concept to sustain Internet industry. However, for the past several years, many ISPs broke their peering arrangement because of asymmetric traffic pattern and asymmetric benefit and cost from the peering. Even though traffic flows are not a good indicator of the relative benefit of an Internet inte...
متن کاملNetwork neutrality debate and ISP inter-relations: traffic exchange, revenue sharing, and disconnection threat
The network neutrality debate originally stems from the growing traffic asymmetry between ISPs, questioning the established peering or transit agreements. That tendency is due to popular content providers connected to the network through a single ISP, and whose traffic is not charged by distant ISPs. We propose in this paper to review the economic transit agreements between ISPs in order to det...
متن کاملInternet Service Providers and Peering
Internet Service Provider (ISP) peering has emerged as one of the most important and effective ways for ISPs to improve the efficiency of operation. Peering is defined as “an interconnection business relationship whereby ISPs provide connectivity to each others’ transit customers.” ISPs seek peering relationships primarily for two reasons. First, peering decreases the cost and reliance on purch...
