This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second Euro-NF International Conference, NET-COOP 2008 held in Paris, France, in September 2008. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 27 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on economics and peer-to-peer networks; routing and measurements; scheduling; tcp and congestion control; as well as wireless networks.
