Peer-to-peer applications, such as file sharing, real-time
communication, and live media streaming, use a significant amount of
Internet resources.  Such applications often transfer large amounts
of data in direct peer-to-peer connections.  However, they usually
have little knowledge of the underlying network topology.  As a
result, they may choose their peers based on measurements and
statistics that, in many situations, may lead to suboptimal choices.
This document describes problems related to optimizing traffic
generated by peer-to-peer applications and associated issues such
optimizations raise in the use of network-layer information.
