Claim Text:
1. A method for processing a network mapping identifier, the method comprising: obtaining, by a peer to peer (p2p) traffic optimization server, topology information of a network, wherein the topology information comprises a relation between nodes in the network; generating, by the p2p traffic optimization server, a network mapping identifier capable of indicating a relation between a peer and other peers in the network according to the topology information; and allocating, by the p2p traffic optimization server, the generated network mapping identifier to the peer; wherein generating the network mapping identifier comprises: generating, by the p2p traffic optimization server, an Internet Service Provider (ISP) identifier for indicating a relation between each ISP and other ISPs in the network; and combining, by the p2p traffic optimization server, the ISP identifier and the peer identifier into the network mapping identifier; wherein the relation between the nodes in the network is weight values between the nodes in the network; and the ISP identifier is a number, a string, or an identifier allocated according to an ISP policy; wherein generating, by the p2p traffic optimization server, the peer identifier capable of indicating the relation between the peer and other peers in the network according to the topology information comprises:
