Characterizing Layer-4 Forwarding Performance - "Moving up the stack"

Converged networks are under attack from peer-to-peer traffic. The dynamic nature of TCP-based applications, including peer-to-peer applications such as BitTorrent, threatens the quality of VoIP and IPTV services, and more importantly, the profits and revenue streams these two key services bring. 

This white paper explores the nature of these threats, strategies for mitigating risk, and solutions for ensuring that service providers’ networks and business will survive the looming convergence storm.
