While recent figures have been produced [ pdf<\/a>, 110KB] that point to a decrease in peer-to-peer music traffic, an article in Forbes<\/a> points to a dramatic increase in video piracy using p2p.<\/p>\n

Traffic may be shifting from music to video, perhaps because broadband speeds enable pretty fast conventional file transfers of the much smaller audio files and perhaps because of the ready availability of most content from authorized download sites. It is the growth in video piracy that caught my eye.<\/p>\n

Video traffic on the internet helps drive broadband adoption and demand for higher speed services, but presents a challenge for effective network management to ensure a satisfactory consumer experience. <\/p>\n

As traffic patterns continue to evolve, will network operators have sufficient tools and flexibility to respond?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
