My contention is simple. The content providers will not allow P2P video as a legal commercial service anytime in the near future. Furthermore, most ISPs are going to side with the content providers on this one. Therefore, discussing it at this point in time is purely academic, or more so, diversionary.
I don't think they have a choice really. The state of the art in application aware QoS/rate shaping is so behind the times that by the time it caught, the application would have changed. Bora
