Dutch Don’t Use P2P Much?
December 31, 2005 |
Om Malik points to an article on Planet.nl. According to this article, the Dutch use their bandwith in the following way (according to data from the Amsterdam Internet Exchange - AMS-IX):
It is surprising to see this high amount of traffic from newsgroups, though there is a lot of downloading from newsgroups and from living in the Netherlands I remember that ISPs advertised usegroups as a feature early on.
The other highly surprising result is the low amount of P2P traffic. One thing Om misses, is that the article has an explanation for this: a lot of P2P traffic is not reported to AMS-IX, but handled decentrally by the ISPsthemselves. A lot of this traffic would hence not run through the central exchange.
