Managing Content-Intensive P2P Services
Wednesday, June 18 • 11:20 AM - 12:05 PM • Room S115
Peer-to-peer (P2P) network traffic continues to swell massively, particularly as consumers adopt applications such as downloading or streaming large video files. Because P2P technology has many advantages, content owners are adopting P2P-based delivery networks to leverage scale and pervasiveness. Meanwhile, media companies are experimenting with and deploying new forms of content creation and distribution. Managing content-intensive P2P services on IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) next generation networks — services such as IPTV, direct connect to home, and media sharing — requires synergy between the access and core network for these services to be successfully deployed.This panel session explores solutions as service providers experiment and deploy new policies and technologies to manage P2P traffic.
