Well, point to point unicast is a really dumb model for distributing video. If they only applied this to video services? Maybe? But the problem is this will bleed into everything you do online. It's also why traditional cable and satellite will never truly die. |

No the network does not support the load, hence the need to upgrade all the time as you put it.
As ISPs add more end users, they will eventually need to upgrade their uplinks to support more demand on their peer connections...oh wait, or they will let them run over-saturated and force a content provider into a direct peer situation. Hmmmm
I am not arguing the links being oversold, it happens in every facet of the internet. Traffic gets adjusted accordingly and links are upgraded.
My comment was to the point of the other poster that said this "content sites can fire a literal tsunami of bandwidth at ISP's"
Content sites are doing nothing more than delivering what that ISPs users are requesting. More users, more traffic, uplinks get overloaded, not the link(s) to the ISPs end users. |
