What percentage of the bandwidth is consumed by popular videos, and what percentage by the long tail? P2P can alleviate a big chunk of the popular content bandwidth. Not sure how much that is, though. In a P2P world, if you're uploading a long tail video of your cat that only your family will watch, maybe it's up to you to "seed that torrent" - or more realistically, keep your machine running so that your peer can serve the content to theirs. It's the move from desktops to mobile and laptop devices that run only sporadically that is the real problem for P2P. |
