This document summarizes the Simple Economic Management Approaches of Overlay Traffic in Heterogeneous Internet Topologies project from the European Seventh Framework. The project focused on using economic mechanisms to address the information asymmetry between overlay applications and networks. It employed a SmoothIT Information Service to convey network information between layers to optimize traffic in a way that benefits ISPs, users, and application service providers. Evaluated mechanisms included promoting local peers and inserting resourceful peers to stimulate information sharing while allowing applications freedom of choice. The goal was to manage traffic to benefit all stakeholders through cooperation rather than traditional single-metric optimization.

- 2. The SmoothIT project - Economic Traffic Management (ETM) • Context: SmoothIT focused on overlay application and p2p – Addressed the Information Asymmetry problem • Concept: ETM employs mechanisms addressing the incentives of players – They are compatible to users’ benefit, but also function complementarily to the self-organization of the overlay • Objective: To bridge the information gap between overlay and underlay and to optimize overlay traffic mutually beneficially for all: ISP, user, ASP – TripleWin: the system operates in an equilibrium point – Traditional traffic optimization would aim at a global optimum of a single combined optimization metric • Results: ETM mechanisms indeed lead the system to desirable equilibria, although a different mechanism can be appropriate in each case – Are highly distributed and scalable – Stimulate information sharing among players • Next steps: Handle new types of overlay traffic stemming from – Social networks, cloud applications, mobile applications 7/2/2012 2

SIS-compatible/-enabled ETM mechanisms • BGP-based Locality Promotion – Neighbors list provided by peer requesting ‘advice’ – A server provides proximity-related information/’advice’ • Insertion of ISP-owned Peer(s) – Intervention of resourceful caches in the overlay, transparently or not – Tranparent: Selected by regular peers only based on overlay criterion (e.g. T4T) – Non-transparent: Advertised by SIS (or possibly the overlay tracker) • Promotion of Highly Active Peer(s) – ISP boosts regular high activity peers’ capacity – Evaluates their behavior, e.g. large seeding time – Incentive for regular peers to act as IoPs • All provide freedom to peers to decide whether they will adopt them 7/2/2012 4
