Arrrr Matey

It won't be long before the bittorrent client authors figure out how P4P is accomplishing this and enable the option themselves.

I for one would welcome it because then companies like Comcast don't have a leg to stand on, as this reduces the cost of transit by an order of magnitude.

Imagine if little Johnny is downloading that new movie release from the Pirate Bay, but over 58% of the traffic stays on Comcast backbone, never having to peer. Same with Time Warner and ATDN or the TBone. I always wondered why no one, especially the folks in Japan who have 100Mbps or 1Gbps connections but fairly small pipes to the outside world, never figured out how to implement this in the BT protocol.

While Verizon's probably patented their method (everyone patents everything nowadays), it's not hard to count the hops to a destination, or look up the owner of the peer's netblock, or even guess based only on latency.
