definitively not. Content is stored on peers, not on any ISP infrastructure (unless the ISP wants so). > 2.

You can keep BT traffic local without putting any constraint on TCP, or UDP. Even if BT locality is enforced, you can still bypass it pretty easily, but you don't really have benefits to do so. As we have shown, even with a high level of locality, peers will not experience any major decrease of performance, and even better performance if inter-ISP links are congested.
