Verizon has announced that not only are they embracing Peer2Peer instead of fighting it (a la Comcast), but they are building a new protocol for P2P traffic, called Proactive network Provider Participation for P2P, aka P4P. HOT!
"Unlike P2P, which selects random peers to share with, when using P4P the peers are intelligently selected as the protocol utilizes network topology data to maximize the efficiency of routing between the peer-to-peer connections.
"Verizon just tested P4P with Pando and received performance boosts of 200 percent on average and increases of up to 600 percent in some cases."
