File-sharing traffic today
continues to dominate service provider networks despite
earlier suggestions that Peer-to-Peer (P2P) traffic would
diminish with emerging online services and ongoing industry
pressure. This popular technology has become a mass-market
application and remains a key driver for broadband adoption
in today’s competitive market. And the application of this
technology is now broadening with leading commercial
organizations already adopting P2P for legitimate content
distribution.
The implication is clear –
service providers must use intelligent approaches to manage
P2P traffic that preserve the subscriber experience while
achieving bandwidth savings. Sandvine’s Intelligent Traffic
Management solution meets this important challenge with
unique P2P routing technology that:
 |
Reduces transit costs
by
keeping subscriber P2P traffic within
the service provider’s network |
|
|
Improves the subscriber
experience
through enhanced P2P performance
|
Sandvine’s PPE 8200 delivers
the P2P routing capability of our Intelligent Traffic
Management solution. P2P networks, and peering relationships
specifically, evolve randomly without any regard for the
underlying IP network infrastructure as users continuously
join and leave the global community. Our patent-pending
technology overcomes the networking inefficiencies that
characterize this ad-hoc topology of P2P networks. Broadband
service providers gain the ability to prioritize network
paths based upon traffic levels and other engineering
considerations affecting network performance. The result is
significantly lower bandwidth costs while enhancing the
subscriber online experience.
While the
end-user experience is unaffected, service providers realize
reduced costs and improved network efficiencies:
