Re: [p2prg] Literature References regarding heavy bandwidthconsumers
Hi Rich,
Hi Daniel,
After browsing through the listed paper I believe that the only really
usable data is availale for Japan. In order to come to the data I would
be looking for (namely the amount of consumed bandwidth of the top X% of
users) one needs cooperation by the network operator. This is obviously
difficult to get.
The paper "Observing Slow Crustal Movement in Residential User Traffic",
(December 2008) at least claims that "The distribution has not changed
much from 2005 to 2008; the overall traffic is still dictated by a small
group.". This paper refers to the situation in Japan only.
Ciao
Hannes
