P2P at work

Last week a press release issued by Ellacoya suggested regular Web traffic had taken over P2P traffic for the first time in four years - astounding news, given that BitTorrent alone was estimated at consuming some 60 percent of an ISP's traffic. But according to Slyck News, P2P is not only still king; it's on the rise.
Ellacoya is a company that sells traffic shapers - P2P blocking systems. Though HTTP is seeing an increase as content options expand across sites like iTunes and YouTube, P2P still dominates ISP traffic, hovering around 60 percent and getting as high as 80 percent.
