In this paper, we consider the fairness issue of BT and tackle the problem with a general framework using proactive topology adaptations. The topology formed possesses a special link-level homogeneity property with each peer having the same capacity per out-degree value. Such property guarantees that each directional link has the same uploading bandwidth. Together with the Tit-for-Tat policy, peers upload and download at the same rate over each connection and therefore achieve fairness.
