Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
BitTorrent, the company that maintains the peer-to-peer Internet file sharing protocol of the same name, has partnered with Israel based caching solutions provider Oversi, to deliver an integrated P2P solution for ISPs. The companies claim the solution will deliver reduced bandwidth costs, deferred infrastructure investments and a higher quality subscriber experience.
The solution involves BitTorrent's intelligent
client protocols communicating with Oversi's network intelligence
platform to improve peer selection in line with the ISP's network
capabilities while speeding up P2P downloads.
According to the two companies, enhanced intelligence will enable the
ISP and P2P clients to avoid network bottlenecks. The solution is
deployed in the P2P cloud and uses the ISP's existing network resources.
Eric Kinker, CEO of BitTorrent, said, "We're glad to be cooperating
with leading network equipment vendors like Oversi to build solutions
that help network operators while preserving and even improving the end
user experience on BitTorrent file transfers. We believe that
cooperative endeavors like this offer the most promising opportunities
for helping the Internet to evolve."
David Tolub, Oversi's President and CEO, said, "We welcome our
collaboration with the global P2P technology leader. For the first
time, network intelligence is being combined with P2P client
intelligence to solve a key ISP dilemma: how to reduce network
congestion while improving users' performance. This solution meets a
real need, while reducing operational and
capital expenses at a time of shrinking budgets".
The BitTorrent/Oversi solution supports commercial and non-commercial
P2P applications and ongoing advances in P2P architectures.
NetEnhancer, Oversi's recently launched P2P management tool, is
designed to optimize the resources of ISPs by automatically routing P2P
traffic to local peers in line with the available network resources of
the operator.
BitTorrent's Policy Discovery Protocol is designed to help peers
automatically discover ISP policies which will optimize peer selection
and accelerate downloads.
