Reality check This week's netflow for the Internet 2 http://netflow.internet2.edu/weekly/20041025/
has BitTorrent taking up about 4.8 % of the traffic, http is 15 to 18%, and all file sharing is about 10%, down from 50% 2 years ago. Since file sharing and related uses are generally heavy traffic sources on I2, I would conclude that the Reuter's numbers are too high. regards Marshall Eubanks On Fri, 5 Nov 2004 08:59:42 +0900 Tony Li <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > For those not familiar, BitTorrent is a file sharing app that is > commonly > used for exchanging full movies.
