One month after Comcast aggressively defended its targeted use of TCP reset packets to delay or stop BitTorrent uploads at an FCC hearing last month, the company has reversed course and says it will stop targeting individual peer-to-peer (P2P)protocols when managing network traffic.
Comcast’s reversal came as a welcome development for BitTorrent, which had argued against the ISP’s techniques at last month’s FCC hearing on broadband network management practices. Ashwin Navin, BitTorrent’s president and co-founder, says his company has been negotiating with Comcast for more than two years on traffic-management issues, and that the recent media attention to Comcast’s traffic-management practices has served as “a catalyst” to announce the two companies’ collaboration. In return for Comcast’s cooperation, he says that BitTorrent will work with other companies to develop more-efficient P2P technology that will place less of a burden on network architecture.
“We are particularly enthusiastic about Comcast’s commitment to make their network management protocol agnostic -- neutral to all applications -- as well as their efforts to upgrade broadband speeds for both downstream and upstream traffic,” Navin says. “We will optimize our application to take advantage of their network upgrades and share those techniques with the broader Internet community.”
Marty Lafferty, president of the Distributed Computing Industry Association, says this newly announced collaboration between Comcast and BitTorrent was inevitable given the ever-increasing consumer and business demand for bandwidth and the potential of P2P protocols to deliver large files rapidly over the Web.
“I think we’re at the point right now where the advantages of P2P technology are so enormous that it has to go forward,” says Lafferty, whose organization sponsors the P4P working group that is working with ISPs and P2P companies to optimize P2P content delivery. “P2P is not an individual technology, but rather a set of practices that will enable ISPs to ensure the most-efficient possible delivery of payloads for their customers.”
