Title : DECoupled Application Data Enroute (DECADE) Problem Statement Author(s) : Haibin Song Ning Zong Y. Richard Yang Richard Alimi Filename : draft-ietf-decade-problem-statement-05.txt Pages : 13 Date : 2012-02-07 Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications have become widely used on the Internet today and make up a large portion of the traffic in many networks. In P2P applications, one technique for reducing the transit and uplink P2P traffic is to introduce storage capabilities within the network. Traditional caches (e.g., P2P and Web caches) provide such storage, but they are complex (due to explicitly supporting individual P2P application protocols and cache refresh mechanisms) and they do not allow users to manage access to content in the cache. For example, content providers wishing to use in- network storage cannot easily control cache access and resource usage policies to satisfy their own requirements. This document discusses the introduction of in-network storage for P2P applications, and shows the need for a standard protocol for accessing this storage.
