Hi,

Does anyone know if (now that Brahm Cohens BitTorrent 4.20 formally supports traffic caching) any ISPs in NZ use caching techniques to manage Bittorrent data, and if such advancements at the client end will improve torrent performance.

Maybe this already happens? Interested to know if there is benefit in using one client over another at the moment or in the future (for the extra visibility it gives ISPs to support traffic caching).

I think I remember reading somewhere about CDP, but I'm not aware of any ISP's in NZ that support it currently.

That said, for the sheer volume of data, a box doing CDP wouldn't be a small thing.  I'd expect they would need to allow several terabytes (ok, not that that's a HUGE volume of data these days), but it would still be a bit of complexity.

Also add to that the transparent factor meaning that any identified torrent traffic would be re-routed via the cdp server. So it would need some pretty big pipes in and out of the server.

Interesting idea, but I'm not sure how quickly ISP's are going to leap to support it.

Jp.

Good point jpwise. And thanks for the reply.
I guess it comes down to an analysis between the cost per unit of bandwidth and cost per unit of storage (and other costs associated with being an edge network for yoru customer base).  I suppose bandwidth would come out cheaper.
