[AusNOG] News: Telstra to clamp down on peer-to-peer

[Matthew Muscat]

The NBN will start to show some of the differences between the ISPs
resources.

The NBN will not provide unified International Connectivity, if anything
it's going to bring out the differences between service providers capacity
beyond their Australian networks.

Right now national connectivity isn't so much an issue, however we're
already seeing congestion of international links with some providers, and
this is before a number of people get on the NBN.

P2P and CDN will be useful with these high speed links (providing there's a
national network to support it) as they'll be able to provide relatively
fast access to content that is local and typically cost effective to serve
for ISPs.
