A significant part of the Internet traffic today is generated by
Peer-to-peer (P2P) applications used traditionally for file-sharing,
and more recently for real-time communications and live media
streaming.  Such applications discover a route to each other through
an overlay network with little knowledge of the underlying network
topology.  As a result, they may choose peers based on information
deduced from empirical measurements, which can lead to suboptimal
choices.  This document, a product of the P2P Research Group,
presents a survey of existing literature on discovering and using
network topology information for application-layer traffic
optimization.
