Re: Throtteling to KEEP enough bandwidth, not reduce congestion

Thing is, P2P's relative usage is shrinking. Right now, it makes up about 50% of all traffic (down from 60% a while back). As streaming video grows far faster, P2P's share of the bandwidth pie is shrinking rapidly. By 2012, streaming video such as YouTube will make up 50% of net traffic (I believe that was in the Ars article), making P2P less important.
