I remember, we used to do video rental run every two days in late 80s. Now it is like once a month. 2. ISPs can request their clients to use their P2P in offpeak hours. If 70% of their customer go by that route, that could reduce the traffic. 3. ISPs can ask the P2P software vendors to adjust the rate between offpeak hours and may even pay a few bucks to do so.
