My understanding is that the bulk data attribute denotes a packet of being a lower urgency than other packets. Whether or not routers implement rules to prioritise on this indicator is another matter.
I think the rationale is to make a bittorrent a bit more traffic shapeable (eg let VOIP packets through before BT packets). IMO it's definitely a good idea.
Not to nit-pick, but Kazaa didn't _move_ "down under". It was sold to Sharman Networks which is an Australian company (incorporated in Vanautu). I don't think it's clear that the original owners have any interests in Kazaa any more.
