Peer-to-peer systems like KaZaa use the notion of super-peers to
improve search performance. In this paper, we analyze the impact of Internet
Service Providers deploying these super-peers in the ir networks. The principle
benefits for ISPs are the ability to perform P2P traffic engineering and to
push content directly to the users, both of which translate into economic
value for the ISPs. The benefit for end users is improved search performance.
We propose and evaluate a technique called Topic-based Search Optimization
that can be used by super-peers to improve search performance.
