Nokia’s P2P Traffic Control Solution

Nokia is introducing a network solution in order to help mobile operators better manage their data traffic

The company said that the Nokia Peer-to-peer Traffic Control, as the solution is called, lets operators keep in check the eating-up of network resources by bandwidth hungry applications such as file sharing and Voice over IP telephony, thus giving operators the tools to maintain tighter control over their networks.

Nokia also claims that Peer-to-peer Traffic Control is the industry’s first integrated solution to allow mobile operators to profitably manage bandwidth available for peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic, thus balancing the allocation of network resources.

Talking about the solution, Roberto Loiola, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Networks at Nokia, said, "With the explosion of affordable high-speed mobile data access, operators are now being challenged to make the best possible use of their networks, especially when peer-to-peer applications increase their traffic load and compete with their own services."
