In large scale decentralized and dynamic networks such as Peer-to-Peer ones, being able to deal with quality of service requires the establishment of a decentralized, autonomous and efficient management strategy. In this context, there is a need to know the global state of a network by collecting a variety of distributed statistical summary information through the use of aggregation protocols. In this paper, we carried out a study on a set of aggregation protocols that can be used for autonomous network monitoring purposes in P2P networks, and we propose a classification and a comparison of them.
