Hi all,

I was wondering if and how IETF would address possible differences among relevant P2P applications in the sense that different applications may require totally different solutions. Was there any discussion on this before on the list?

Just as an example, different criteria to drive peer selection may work differently for give-to-get streaming and tit-for-tat BT. So how will IETF deal with this? Standardize different solutions for different applications? Standardize one solution for all? Pick the most critical (heaviest traffic) applications and standardize a solution for it?

It makes sense to clarify that at this early stage and, perhaps, first see if the solution should and can be application agnostic or not.

Best regards,
Zoran
