Abstract
A method, a device and a system for processing a network mapping identifier, and a peer selection method are provided, in which the method includes: obtaining topology information of a network, in which the topology information includes a relation between nodes in the network; generating a network mapping identifier capable of indicating a relation between a peer and other peers in the network according to the topology information; and combining the generated network mapping identifier and an Internet Service Provider (ISP) identifier into a network mapping identifier, and allocating the network mapping identifier to the peer. Through the method, the device and the system, the network topology information of an ISP is protected from being exposed, a load on the ISP is reduced, and private information of a peer-to-peer (p2p) application system is capable of being protected.
