File-sharing traffic today continues to dominate service provider networks despite earlier suggestions that Peer-to-Peer (P2P) traffic would diminish with emerging online services and ongoing industry pressure. This popular technology has become a mass-market application and remains a key driver for broadband adoption in today’s competitive market. And the application of this technology is now broadening with leading commercial organizations already adopting P2P for legitimate content distribution.

The implication is clear – service providers must use intelligent approaches to manage P2P traffic that preserve the subscriber experience while achieving bandwidth savings. Sandvine’s Intelligent Traffic Management solution meets this important challenge with unique P2P routing technology that:

Reduces transit costs by keeping subscriber P2P traffic within the service provider’s network

Improves the subscriber experience through enhanced P2P performance

I dont think Comcast has that feature on.

reply to MikeG
MikeG -- yes, but that feature got little interest for buyers. Truth is, if Comcast used it, they might have avoided getting caught.

It still is a bad deal, though. That's like searching Google.com for something and getting your answer back from Comcast.net.

(The forgery involved, however, is freekin' brilliant!)
