The Distributed Computing Industry Association's P4P workgroup is devising a new protocol for what researchers describe as carrier-grade peer-to-peer file transfer systems. Verizon reports that a recent test it conducted revealed that the new protocol provides a significant boost in download performance while simultaneously reducing network congestion. Verizon senior technologist and P4P workgroup co-chair Doug Pasko said that Verizon observed download performance improvements of approximately 200 percent during tests conducted with Pando.
