In 1979 Ahlswede and Katona proposed the following discrete isoperimetric problem: find a vertex set of fixed size in the hypercube with minimum average distance. This survey-type paper reports a number of recent results. Furthermore it conjectures a general way to describe the possible candidates to be extremal, showing that the known cases belong to this class.
