Short project info

- More than 70 percent of P2P file sharing traffic is redundant
- The P2P proxy/cache project aims to solve the problem with the massive ammounts of data that P2P file sharing networks create by massively reducing the unnecessary redundancy
- By exploiting a found attack vector in the currently most popular and perspective P2P protocol - BitTorrent, it enables the ISPs to stop fighting P2P and instead cooperate with the community on creating a more effective hybrid P2P network model
- The P2P proxy/cache is an extremely lightweight and simple win-win solution when comparing with other similar approaches with at least the same or even better performance
- P2P proxy/cache is completely transparent and does not require any change in the used SW on the client side nor on the trackers
- Its HW requirements are comparable to a normal file server for that given bandwith as it does not need to process the whole P2P traffic but only a few packets per session
- This project is in beta testing stage

- !!! Proxy/Cache now supports proxying and caching of streamed content too !!!
