That's the assessment of ISP traffic patterns offered by Yuval Shahar, CEO of P-Cube. P-Cube is a venture-funded start-up that sells network devices to help ISPs throttle back peer-to-peer traffic.
Shahar says peer-to-peer traffic is shifting from users swapping small MP-3 music files to users simultaneously downloading multiple movies. "Napster was about swapping MP-3 files. Now it's mostly DVD movies, and the typical file is over 700M-byte. Users will set up 10 or 20 of those downloads in the background," Shahar says.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
*SWAP* - That's the sound of **** socking me in the balls. I mean, what the hell? If you have 100 users getting packets of 1kb, and one user getting 100kb and downloding **** on his iTuns, then they say that 50% of their traffic is to steal music, and charge everyone more?
This also will most likely increase ping times - It has to analyze EVERY PACKET coming in and going out. The video didn't say anything about your broadband being just as fast as it used to be - because it won't be.
I'm not too worried, someone will make SOMETHING that spoofs packets at HTML pages, I'm sure of it.
