Relevance

• Pipes getting bigger.

• Bandwidth and storage getting cheaper.

• Browsers getting smarter.

• People getting closer / social media.

• VoD: Youtube / Tudou / Huulu / etc rely on streaming.

Performance

Buffer
- long time to buffer / multi-connection download, P2P

• multiple connections over the same data (e.g. TV show)

• caching at peering points

• TCP/UDP data transfer

• intelligent P2P routing between peering points

- buffer may stop / auto-reconnect download session
- multiple instances of buffered data / cache sharing

Result highlights


Conclusion

•

• Accelerator in the browser.

• ISP peering/caching technology

• Partial Net neutrality?
