Different sorts of peer-to-peer (P2P) applications emerge every day and they are becoming more and more popular. The performance of such applications may be measured by means of Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics. In this paper, the factors that influence these metrics are surveyed. Moreover, the impact of economic traffic management solutions (e.g., proposed by IETF) on perceived QoE for the dominant overlay applications is assessed. The possible regulatory issues regarding QoE for P2P applications are also mentioned.
