Bittorrent Implements Cache Discovery Protocol

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday August 7, 2006 @10:19AM from the middlemen-i-wouldn't-want-to-be dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CacheLogic and BitTorrent introduce an open-source Cache Discovery Protocol (CDP) that allows ISP's to cache and seed Bittorrent traffic. Currently, Bittorrent traffic is suffering from bandwidth throttling ISP's that claim that Bittorrent traffic is cluttering their pipes. This motivated the developers of the most popular Bittorrent clients implement protocol encryption to protect bittorrent users from being slowed down by their ISP's. However, Bram Cohen, the founder of Bittorrent doubted that encryption was the solution, and found (together with CacheLogic) a more ISP friendly alternative."

( P.S. yes, i am talking about the monkey that is the president.)
