A Triggered Dynamic Mechanism for BitTorrent-Like P2P Bandwidth Management

BitTorrent(BT)-like P2P traffic which occupy main network bandwidth affect other normal network applications badly. This paper presents a triggered dynamic mechanism for BT-like P2P bandwidth management. According to the variety of utilization percentage of egress router input/output cache, this mechanism could estimate the potential network congestion and be triggered to control the BT-like P2P bandwidth dynamically. This paper puts forward a new way to control BT-like P2P bandwidth by intercepting the massage packets of BT-like P2P. The experiments results verify that the proposed method for BT-like P2P bandwidth management can manage BT-like P2P bandwidth effectively.
