Ordinarily, bandwidth demand grows slowly and can be managed by ordinary means, but innovative new applications put extraordinary pressure on the Internet's ability to mediate bandwidth among users. This has happened before, with both ftp and HTTP. The protocols had to be re-engineered to handle the demand.
Topolski's amateur analysis of P2P ignores multi-stream and community effects, and these are all-important. See my blog for the analysis of one of the icons of packet switching: »bennett.com/blog/2008/07/hysteri···ectives/
Or don't, if you're content that Topolski is telling you the whole story. |
