There is no information in the cited arstechnia post that
describes in detail the measurements taken, the methodology,
or anything else to move this from the realm of opinion to
hard data. While I have not seen it, I doubt if the
forthcoming paper will do much better. In the posting and on
the ipoque website, the paper is called a "survey" which
suggests that the presentation is a collection of opinions,
probably from a self-selected group, rather than hard facts.
Ipoque sells traffic management systems and is unlikely to be
an impartial observer. Until such time as there is hard,
repeatable data demonstrating the correctness of the
statement " P2P responsible for as much as 90 percent of all
'Net traffic", perhaps we should avoid publicizing unverified
assertions.
