Hi, not trying to step on the toes of the TS or anyone in the Unifi DC++ club. I was recently wondering about the local/international backbone traffic while surfing around here checking on the problems inherently present in the explosion of peer to peer, gaming and internet commerce ect ect.

I feel that HSBB/Unifi roll out should help alleviate the download capping/throttling problem as the "Local" backbone would be increased exponentially from the slow DSL line which does not allow for feasible "local Upload" capability.

Bittorrent sharing technology, I have heard does search for the lowest ping, meaning closest peer. Which would mean that once Unifi roll out hit a certain level in Malaysia, the local community would no longer need to over utilize the "International" backbone traffic to download eg Naruto eps 200, 1million times thru the International backbone.

Instead just 1 instance of Naruto eps 200 would be channeled thru the International backbone and the remaining portion would be shared thru the local community.


If the current Unifi users does not want to experience download cap, which inevitably is caused by increased International backbone traffic, they would be wise to share via their upload to local backbone.

Just my 2 cents on how HSBB could make internet cheaper and faster for everyone.

The original motive of Peer to peer is to reduce cost of distribution and for that you need efficient infrastructure, and the "upload" infrastructure is here, I implore Unifi users to use it to make Malaysia's broadband speed the best in the world.


Sidenote: Streamyx user may have just a low 20kB/s upload, but that should not deter you from fully utilizing your capacity.
Futhermore, if I would actually dare to say, some Unifi DC+ Club's file share/availability of library with archival quality files may not be suitable for extensive sharing, however the files that is downloaded the most would definitely benefit from the awesome upload baseline Unifi user provides.
Bottomline, use Unifi DC++ Hub along with the p2p bittorrent to help alleviate International backbone traffic.

My example of Naruto, which is not licensed for distribution in Malaysia is not illegal?

My post is discussing technology rather then legals. Network efficiency if it is not "manually" throttled as it is.

It is a local network throttling if everyone just grab and do not utilize their upload factor.
