P4P Remodels File Sharing (2 web pages).

Peer-to-peer routing technology being tested by Internet service providers could change networking.

"Peer-to-peer" (P2P) is synonymous with piracy and bandwidth hogging on the Internet. But now, Internet service providers and content companies are taking advantage of technology designed to speed the delivery of content through P2P networks. Meanwhile, standards bodies are working to codify the technology into the Internet's basic protocols.

Interesting. I disagree with the part about P2P being "highly efficient". I mean it might be at the theoretical level but in practice I don't see it.

I wonder if the ISPs will support P4P.

Peace...
