As its popularity has risen, Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology has transformed broadband Internet business models worldwide. Accounting for up to 60% of total traffic on a typical residential network, P2P congestion consumes bandwidth at a disproportional rate,

swelling transit costs and opening a network up to a deluge of non-revenue-generating

traffic.

And while these escalating costs eat away at service providers’ bottom-lines, subscribers are becoming more elastic to price and quality of service than ever before. Reducing subscriber churn by maximizing each subscriber’s experience is becoming a necessity in

the increasingly competitive broadband market.

P2P technology has become a driver of broadband adoption; for the most part however, service providers have been unable to completely harness this revenue-generating opportunity due to the high level of associated cost. The goal is to effectively manage P2P

traffic and its costs while continuing to maximize the subscriber experience.

In order for broadband service providers to reach this goal, a variety of solutions have

been proposed:

1. Acquire More Bandwidth

2. Block P2P Traffic

3. Utilize Network Caching

4. Implement Bandwidth Caps

5. Shape P2P Traffic

6. Introduce Stateful Policy Management

This document examines these solutions, evaluating each in light of the pressing need to simultaneously reduce costs and preserve the subscriber experience.
