The Research of P2P Traffic Identification Technology

P2P technology has become the hot technology of the Internet. The essence of P2P technology is to change the way of processing and storage from centralization to decentralization. It can centralize the idle resources for using. Therefore, it is a very innovative and good technology. But, this also is a kind of technology with mass destructions. It consumes a lot of resources (especially bandwidth), and even to the security of user´s equipment to improve service. So, how to limit and manage P2P traffic becomes a hotspot of research. This article first briefly introduce the P2P technology, then give a comprehensive analysis of the current mainstream technology about P2P traffic identification. Finally, based on analysis and combined with a variety of technical advantages, we propose a new model about the real-time identification of P2P traffic.
