Netflix sued by South Korean ISP after Squid Game fans swell traffic to '1.2Tbps'

Re: If only there was a protocol to replace client/server by a network of peers

The problem is that a lot of data is coming from Netflix outside of the ISP network, that is why the ISP is suing, because it's costing too much.

But using p2p, the many users inside the ISP network would exchange the data between each others, and the quantity coming from Netflix directly would decrease.

I was ironic because p2p is one of the most optimized distribution system, and it was nearly killed "because pirates" and big ISP are often content possessors who pursue that killing. So now they can complain, I don't give a care, that is mainly their own fault.

If only there was a protocol to replace client/server by a network of peers

I mean, instead of every clients getting the same stream from servers, imagine something where each client would also be a server so clients of the ISP would exchange the stream between each other, data staying on the provider network. We could call that, I don't know peer to peer, it could even be abbreviated to p2p.

Imagine all the peers…

I don't know why nobody as yet think of this⸮

Traffic lights, who needs 'em? Lucky Kentucky residents up in arms over first roundabout

There are 2 kinds of roundabout in France

The 2 kinds translate to roundabout so…

First, remember that we drive on the right in France with a default priority from the right. We turn around roundabout counter clockwise.

The roundabout on video Place de l'Étoile in Paris is a "rond-point" with priority from the right (so people coming from outside have the priority).

The most common roundabouts are "giratoires" where people from outside don't have the priority, so it's a priority to the left kind. As it's not the default priority, every ingress has signalisation to give way.

Giratoires are easier to use.

And there are a lot, really, really a lot of those in France everywhere.

An easy way out would be to say :

OK, you develop the mathematical theory and the algorithm to do that. And when mathematicians, security specialists, encryption specialists and developers from all around the world will validate it to be sound and working, we will implement it in our products.

Like this, the burden of doing this impossible task is reverse to them. We know it's impossible and they will never succeed, so no risks for us.
