Amos, I appreciate your view but you can also decide to track down the few "ab-users", the 5% generating 90% of the trafic, preventing the others to get good service. Either you need to buy much more bandwidth and then may be your business model won't be profitable or you decide to enforce some sort of Fairness to retain all these customers, suffering from abusers and probably on their way to leave because of poor level of service.

Recently kazaa has released a new version of their p2p software, kazaa v2 which is hard to classify and quantify. Do you manage to classify this traffic - kazaa v2 doesnt work on tcp port 1214 like v1. it uses dynamic ports Re caching. I dont believe there is a solution, but if you find anything, please let me know, since i would be interested in such a solution Thanks Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amos Rosenboim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 12:12 PM Subject: [isp-caching] introduction + peer 2 peer traffic > Hi, > i'm working as a Head of networking team for an isp in israel.
