Global P2P BitTorrent Real-Time Traffic Over SDN-Based Local-Aware NG-PON2

File sharing is one of the most common uses in Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and structured P2P systems, such as BitTorrent (BT), which may overcome the limitations of features such as improved scalability, efficiency, and deterministic data location.

description File sharing is one of the most common uses in Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and structured P2P systems, such as BitTorrent (BT), which may overcome the limitations of features such as improved scalability, efficiency, and deterministic data location. Recent research has attempted to reduce inter-ISP P2P traffic by including locality awareness into neighbor-selection strategies of popular P2P apps, which prioritize adjacent peers over distant peers when transferring data, reducing server bandwidth burden, and inter-ISP traffic expense. However, the locality awareness P2P exchanged, handled and coordinated by the network infrastructure to turn around traffic as nearest as possible to the end users was proposed for the passive optical network (PON) because of the large amount of bandwidth in only one single fiber. The PON offers many system architectures; in particular, the NG-PON2 with colorless ONUs, adopting time and wavelength division multiple access technology is often recognized as the best access network solution for simplifying network operation, lowering installation costs, and maintenance costs under control. Software-defined networking (SDN) has sparked interest in various fields as a viable research topic, promising better agility, improved automation, security, and lower capital and operating costs. Taking advantage of the SDN&#x2019;s OpenFlow protocol in NG-PON2, centralized control renders more flexible control over the BT traffic (P2P intra-traffic) file sharing application provided by different ISPs. Finally, we evaluated our proposed scheme in real-time traffic share collected by Sandvine&#x2019;s report on 2020 despite the Covid-19 pandemic for different geographic regions, for example; <bold>Global</bold>, <bold>APAC</bold>, <bold>EMEA</bold>, and <bold>AMERICA</bold>.
