P2P usage - some data

Cory Doctorow points out this report from CacheLogic (which makes appliances for monitoring network traffic) entitled "The True Picture of Peer-to-Peer Filesharing".

The bottom line?

- P2P is the single largest consumer of data on ISP networks.
- P2P traffic significantly outweighs web traffic.
- P2P traffic is continuing to grow.

Also notable is the finding that BitTorrent traffic has doubled in the last six months - from 26% of P2P traffic to 53%, while Kazaa use has decreased from 46% to 19%.

Thanks, Cory!
