Research on the Technology of Peer-to-Peer Network Traffic Identification

The rapid development of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network has enriched the performance of Internet. However, with the violent increment of data flow and bandwidth using with no restrict, the P2P applications have brought huge impact to Internet base establishment and the advance service of Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Application Service Provider (ASP). Therefore, to utilize the Internet base establishment and P2P technology correctly and to process P2P applications effectively, the technology of P2P network traffic identification and traffic filtering should be researched while restraining the illegal content being transfered in P2P network. This paper focuses on the deep research and comparison of available algorithms of P2P network traffic identification, and gives a technology reference and standard for the P2P network traffic management.
