torrent traffic has become a non issue now that there is equipment that actually handles the pps load, an old avarion AP would crumble at just a few thousand pps, and dlink routers croaked at 200, its just bandwidth now. I also think the torrent architecture has moved to a more efficient method, p2p in general started in dialup, so tiny fragments, but now a single peer can move higher volume so it takes less peers or at least less time per peer with less duplicate traffic. Without DPI theres no way to know the content, and even with it, there's really no way to know the entitlement to the content, so its not really our business if its not adversely affecting the network, in which case, content is still irrelevant and its solely a TOS/AUP network preservation issue. DMCA is a different issue all together since torrenting is not the only mechanism, its just the lowest hanging fruit to target for the takedown extortion notices. The biggest threat to an ISP network is 4ktv
