Should Internet Service Providers Fear Peer-Assisted Content Distribution?
Overview Recently, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks have emerged as an attractive solution to enable large-scale content distribution without requiring major infrastructure investments. While such P2P solutions appear highly beneficial for content providers and end-users, there seems to be a growing concern among Internet Service Providers (ISPs) that now need to support the distribution cost. This work explores the potential impact of future P2P file delivery mechanisms as seen from three different perspectives: the content provider, the ISPs, and individual content consumers. Using a diverse set of measurements including Bit-Torrent tracker logs and payload packet traces collected at the edge of a 20,000 user access network, the paper quantifies the impact of peer-assisted file delivery on end-user experience and resource consumption.
