Remember that these measures are dependent upon where you put your
meters. How much of the traffic is within local networks including
homes. What about the video broadcast on broadband those bits wind
up in the bit bucket but can occupy 99% of the capacity of those
pipes. As to the 90% P2P number -- that's percentage of the pipes as
currently lit which is not the same as 90% of the total capacity
though it may indeed represent a major portion of the capacity of
constrictions like transoceanic cables.
Of course there is also the use of P2P to mean piracy when protocols
like Bit Torrent make a lot more sense than using TCP to transfer
data for corporate and application.
As usual we need to understand the questions and the reason for
asking them as much as the answers. Hmm deep packet inspection a
way to get those nasty P2P bits off of the service providers
networks cant have users deciding how to use those paths its
not as if communities have any rights to their own rights of way.
Power to DELIVERY CONTENT TO the people, AKA Power From The People,
Bits To the People.
Of course these focus on video keeps our attention away from all the
vital apps that broadband excludes in its emphasis on speed without
control.
