Abstract
Peer-to-Peer services have become the main source of traffic in the Internet and are even challenging the World Wide Web (WWW) in popularity. Backbone operators and Internet Service Providers (ISP) consistently report Peer-to-Peer-type traffic volumes exceeding 50% of the total traffic in their networks [42, 337, 372, 556], sometimes even reaching 80% at nonpeak times [39, 236], see also chapter 22.
