| It couldn't happen to nicer folks, damn. Over time, I've met some of their staff on line and a few in person -- these are people that love the Internet and now is a very rough time for anyone to lose a job.
My friend Eric accurately points out that streaming over the Internet -- ala YouTube -- cannot possibly replace traditional TV delivery (broadcasting) because it's incredibly inefficient (and thus prohibitively expensive) to ship so many unicast streams from a source to millions of viewing end hosts.
BitTorrent -- which is here now and works -- can take us a lot farther to freeing us from our TV overlords. Solutions like BitTorrent DNA, which can support broadcasting live events as well as pre-recorded content, moves to solve that problem by creating millions of free CDNs among the watchers.
This is identical to what Pando is trying to do, but their closed proprietary system has never gained much interest and their endless trials of P4P might end up in user code about the time we're all flying around in jet packs.
For those that are going -- my sincere admiration and wishes go with you. For those that are staying, let's hope that today's economy drives more content providers toward looking at P2P solutions to help offset costs and inefficiencies of client-server and traditional CDNs. -- Robb Topolski -= funchords.com =- Hillsboro, Oregon More features, more fun, Join BroadbandReports.com, it's free...

Perhaps this substantially and materially shifts the bandwidth ISP costs of content distribution away from Internet video sources, but it is far from "free."
All this does is move the cost of bandwidth to the consumer ISP which "we" pay for vs having content providers pay their cost of bandwidth. | |

| Re: It couldn't happen to nicer folks, damn. Note: 3rd-party exchange points make up only 1 small part of end to end network costs. Those savings are small and not a major factor.
Question #1: Who is saying P2P "saves" them (ISPs) much money? Answer: Not the ISPs
Question #2: As P2P content distribution really is nearly "free" for CDN/Content providers, what happens around costs for the ISP when an 3rd party can NOW deliver 100x's the content for no capital or BW costs for CDN? As that cost has shifted to the consumer ISP, who is the new "them" that has to pay for it? Answer: the consumer (me and you).
Content wants a free ride by moving their capital costs to you and me (systems, power, space) and their bandwidth costs to the the ISP (and in turn their customers).
Internet bandwidth today is "paid" for by both content and consumers. P2P shifts all the cost to the consumer side of the network. Don't be fooled. This is one of those, "be careful what you wish for, you just may get it." | |

| Re: It couldn't happen to nicer folks, damn. Except for those who provide content for the love of it, we pay for all of the transit. The content provider extracts money from "us" one way or another, either directly or from the advertisers who get money from us.
Question #1: Who is saying P2P "saves" them (ISPs) much money? Answer: Not the ISPs True. The ISPs don't (or didn't) understand P2P. Some of them are coming around. Keep in mind that our ISPs are the Phone Company and the Cable Company. They didn't invent it, so all they see is "traffic" (and a lot of it), and they don't understand how the technology works. I'm telling you it's saving money, yet they'll say it's costing money. (They incorrectly think if P2P stops that the demand for the video or music will stop.)
Question #2: As P2P content distribution really is nearly "free" for CDN/Content providers, what happens around costs for the ISP when an 3rd party can NOW deliver 100x's the content for no capital or BW costs for CDN? As that cost has shifted to the consumer ISP, who is the new "them" that has to pay for it? Answer: the consumer (me and you). Even if its coming from a CDN, it's coming across that gateway that they're paying for. So if P2P reduces that (or can prevent them from having to expand so quickly), it can save them some dough. -- Robb Topolski -= funchords.com =- Hillsboro, Oregon More features, more fun, Join BroadbandReports.com, it's free...

| Re: It couldn't happen to nicer folks, damn. said by funchords :I'm telling you it's saving money, yet they'll say it's costing money. Again, who saves? Do you have any data which shows p2p saves me money? Yes I can serve some content, but I could before without p2p. There are plenty of sites like youtube, flicker, etc for my content. What worries me is the Trojan horse the content folks are putting in.
As far as you claiming it saves ISPs money, be sure to factor in all network costs and not just small cross connect exchange point costs. Factor in any increased upstream needs, capital, etc. Also factor in increase in content BW as CDN moves to P2P. (as described in my Question #2 which you really didn't address)
said by funchords :Even if its coming from a CDN, it's coming across that gateway that they're paying for. So if P2P reduces that (or can prevent them from having to expand so quickly), it can save them some dough. YES!! It saves the CDN or content provider dough. Be clear on who saves (not you, I or the ISP we purchase from). In today's world CDN and content providers pay for the exchange point traffic. Today, they pay for their side of the Internet costs.
In a P2P world this becomes "free" to them allowing for double, triple, 10x, 100x increase in content distribution with the BW cost shift from them, to the ISP, you and I.
I see how P2P is good for content, but what people fail to realize is the cost does not disappear. It just shifts to you and I. "Free" does not exist as BW growth always has cost. It should be replaced with "Shifts" and you should wonder to who.
We all want high quality bandwidth services, but allowing content to shift their cost of this all to us may not be the best solution. | |

Question #2: As P2P content distribution really is nearly "free" for CDN/Content providers, what happens around costs for the ISP when an 3rd party can NOW deliver 100x's the content for no capital or BW costs for CDN? As that cost has shifted to the consumer ISP, who is the new "them" that has to pay for it? Answer: the consumer (me and you). It doesn't really work that way, because content is PULLed (or fetched, or requested) on the Internet. It's not PUSHed (broadcast into the ether, perhaps with no viewers). So even though a distributor can deliver 100x more with P2P, it won't push one more byte than it did before unless someone out there wants to see it.
If we can get the advertiser out of the loop, and supplement the delivery with P2P, the content will be net cheaper for us (the consumer) as there will be fewer middlemen.
Despite all the handwaving, the shift to video and the P2P experience has not caused bandwidth growth to break out into faster growth rates. The year-after-year growth rates have been rather constant, if not down a bit. But that said, there is a cost concern -- and I won't insult your intelligence by pretending there is none. If we were to have a sudden shift to P2P, we could hit the ISPs really hard -- not because of gateway costs but perhaps in last-mile upload capability costs.
What worries me is the Trojan horse the content folks are putting in.
Interesting. What do you mean?
Again, who saves? At the moment, I agree that the savings are not very apparent. Most P2P is of the infringing-type, which is easy to dismiss as "ought not to be happening anyway" (which is beside the point, what will consumers REPLACE it with?). For that reason, hard data is hard to come by save from that which can come from an Einsteinian "thought experiment" (it just figures out correctly).
The P4P WG's results -- whether overstated or not -- have to be seen in some context, though. That's good because thinking about whether P4P saves ISPs transit costs causes one to realize how and why P2P already has some efficiency over client-server: Every chunk not transferred over someone else's backbone is money saved. -- Robb Topolski -= funchords.com =- Hillsboro, Oregon More features, more fun, Join BroadbandReports.com, it's free...

| Re: It couldn't happen to nicer folks, damn. said by funchords :It doesn't really work that way, because content is PULLed (or fetched, or requested) on the Internet. What is different is the amount / fidelity of the content and who pays for the cost to distribut it. With P2P the user pays for the hard drive space and power and the ISP pays for the network (passed back to the user). Content companies like WoW, etc get a free ride. Sounds good to some, but not necessarily fair.

That's good because thinking about whether P4P saves ISPs transit costs causes one to realize how and why P2P already has some efficiency over client-server: Every chunk not transferred over someone else's backbone is money saved. I think we need to look at the end to end costs as one breaks apart this complex savings analysis. Say 20% of network costs are backbone/exchange point and 80% are metro and last mile. Would a broadband ISP be well served to save a portion of that 20% only to enable 10-100x of increase in growth on the 80% capital intensive portion of their network? I think the economics are not fully baked yet.
I, the P2P using customer, have enabled that "free" growth in content / fidelity using a portion of my power, CPU cycles and the ISP now wants to pass the bandwidth costs back to me with usage elements... The content provider saves 10's of millions by shifting the cost.
I have yet to see a real analysis of this. Content keeps calling this "free" bandwidth and ISPs worry about the cost shift impact which has some merit. I'd rather the content ISP and CDN pay for their distribution vs. passing it on to me. Everyone should pay their fair share of Internet bandwidth costs.
Just because 1 party saves, does not mean everyone saves in the long run. More to think about. | |
