Abstract
|
BitTorrent users and consumer ISPs are often pictured as having
opposite interests, with end-users aggressively trying to
improve their download times, while ISPs throttle this traffic
to reduce their costs. However, inefficiencies in both download
time and quantity of long-distance traffic originate in
BitTorrent randomly selecting peers to interact with. We show
that biasing the link selection allows one to reduce both median
download times by up to 32% and long-distance traffic by up to
16%. This optimization can be deployed by modifying only the
BitTorrent trackers. No external infrastructure nor specialized
client-side software deployment is necessary, thereby
facilitating the adoption of our technique.
