On 15 & 16 December the US Federal Trade Commission will hold a workshop on P2P. One of the invited speakers is the Scientist which recently conducted a large measurement of the Bittorrent P2P file sharing system.
This new and still unpublished measurement study shows the inner workings and performance of the Bittorrent P2P download protocol and the Suprnova.org content management website. Shown is for example the stability of 1,941 BitTorrent trackers in an 8 month period and the Flashcrowd effect during the massive downloading of “Lord of the Rings III”, and the performance of the moderation system on SuprNova.
| The FTC P2P workshop has an impressive list of people on the agenda. For example, the workshop will close with a panel which includes Sam Yagan, director of eDonkey/Metamachine and Cary Sherman, President RIAA. Bittorrent will be discussed during “The future of P2P technology” session. Read the Complete story @ Info Anarchy News |
