re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTubeCarriers are also blocking P2P traffic and video streaming of legal content is growing. What happens when illegal uploads on Google/YouTube when YouTube contributes to Google revenue.? Google will pay big time, but agreed http streams are the way.
re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTubeHow are they going to deliver IPTV??? Applications and content is growing faster than what operators can deliver in terms of bandwidth and QoS. Internet congestion is already a reality after 4:00 p.m. when school kids come home. Where's Al Gore when you need him???
re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTubeI'm told that almost nobody is actually blocking P2P traffic. Rather, carriers are shifting P2P activity to off-hours when the network has bandwidth to spare.
re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTubeQoS is not far behind, rather than bigger pipes in the backbone, those BW free type.
But TWC has figured out a better QoS solution. They just slow down the name server process. Click on a URL and wait. Like almost a minute for me. They need to verify?
re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTubeMark,
And how do you think the carriers "shift" that traffic to off peak hours?
This is clean talking that actually referrs to time of day traffic shaping. It means that during peak hours they choke p2p traffic (not blocking it completly but rather slowing it down significantly).
BTW - I think it's fair enough deal, as p2p application are not (yet) interactive applications .
re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTubeI don't think major carriers do traffic shaping on applications. It's expensive equipment and not worth the money.
re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTubeYes, I see what you mean. That "shifting" term makes it sound more harmless than it actually is. Sounds like I fell victim to a little "marketing speak." I'll do my best not to repeat things like that in these pages.
re: Surveys: Internet Traffic Touched by YouTube"BTW - I think it's fair enough deal, as p2p application are not (yet) interactive applications ."
Surely someone does online gaming (many of which use p2p technologies). I've heard it's really quite popular. And for a carrier to tell their customers what time of day they're allowed to do online gaming seems a bit odd at best. Do they also dictate what time you're allowed to use the bathtub?
More distressing is the thought that YouTube is using HTTP as their transport protocol for content, rather than more robust protocols which could "restart" stalled transfers, etc.

YouTube is a Cisco conspiracy to force everybody to forklift upgrade their routers. In cable, more Cisco CMTSs get sold as the MSOs do node splits. Al Gore should go buy some Cisco stock.
