P2P bigger than the web

danger @ 4:29 pm

I see on Waxy’s Links this fascinating presentation on Peer 2 Peer file sharing conducted by CacheLogic. They developed an analysis tool and then distributed it to major ISP’s where for 6 months it collected data relating to P2P and other internet use. P2P is by far the biggest use of bandwidth and has not diminished at all as the RIAA would like you to believe. Bit Torrent is by far the most popular P2P utility at the moment, and the study proves exactly what I said in my project in March - if one P2P service declines like Kazaa did, then it just means another is rising in popularity; not that file sharing is being curtailed. The study calls P2P the killer app for broadband. This is an important read.
