Abstract

A system may include one more devices to receive traffic information for a peer-to-peer communication, between a mobile device and a peer-to-peer client device via a peer-to-peer server, associated with a peer-to-peer network. The system may identify peer-to-peer server information associated with the peer-to-peer server and included in the traffic information and may compare the peer-to-peer server information with stored peer-to-peer server information associated with a toll-free data service campaign (“campaign”). The system may determine that the peer-to-peer server information is associated with the campaign if the peer-to-peer server information matches the stored peer-to-peer server information and may provide information to cause data charges, for the traffic flow, to be charged to a service provider associated with the campaign based on determining that the peer-to-peer server information provided in the traffic information is associated with the campaign.
