Up to 90 percents from Internet traffic makes P2P nets

p2pFile exchange software or P2P generates from 50% to 90% Internet traffic. About that attests a inquiry that made German company Ipoque. I think it is normal that most part of traffic takes Bittorent and eDoneky protocols.

The leader is Bittorent - with this protocol’s help 80 percents data are transmitted. But the most popular Internet telephony system Skype that uses many hundreds of millions people in the all world generates about 2-8% of Internet traffic. And after resent skype system’s accident this meter have fallen.

P2P traffic biggest part is in Europe. But in USA it makes only 37% of Internet traffic. Ipoque analyst thinks that this number will fall because more and more traffic will go to HTTP protocol because there are sites like Youtube that “eats” much traffic and Joost.
