Internet2 Plus P2P Equals... 289

Bill, I'm lost in cyberspace... writes "News.com has an article up about a Direct Connected P2P network set up at universities which are on Internet2. This is majorly cool! More direct information is available at i2hub.com for those lucky enough to be located at a University with Internet2 access."

    We are all from universities, so it's obvious that this service is for educational purposes only.

    Yeah... right. And I'm sure that NCAA sporting events such as College Football and March Madness are for educational rather than commerical gain too. :)

    From the article:

    the network has drawn thousands of students from universities around the country to trade files and chat at speeds that far exceed what even ordinarily swift campus networks can provide.

    Thank God! I guess Instant Messaging on this network really is instant. No more of those 100 ms delays!

    "Don't ruin it for everyone else like *we* did back in the late 1990s just because you want free music. Instead of fighting with the RIAA by downloading their music shut them off by not listening to it at all. Please support bands that allow the free taping and distribution of their music"

    So I'm confused, based off this statement, do you feel it is ok, or not ok to use Internet2 for the trading of free music from bands that support free taping and distribution?

    I love how they have a subnet ban on all of Resnet here at Texas A&M.

    What do I care though. At least I know when the RIAA reads slashdot, it won't be anyone I know's ass on the line.

    Yes, I think that P2P programs can be considered research and should even be developed on fast networks like this.

    I would like to do research on a P2P app that uses a UDP variant (I call it "PacketBlast Technology") for its underlying transport. This app would be distributed to all students and faculty at all Internet2-connected universities. This would be totally decentralized - every client would also be a "supernode" and would exchange meta-info with "PacketBlast Technology" as well.

    "PacketBlast" would build off of UDP, only with connection management and guaranteed delivery. Unlike TCP, PacketBlast initially begins connections assuming absurdly high bandwidth, then scales down the window size until the dropped-packet rate falls to around 10% - this ensures maximum utilization of the network and an overall positive experience for the end users.

    I think this would be great to test out on Internet2.

    The good: Actually, there will be no more MP3 trading on internet2.

    The good redux: There will be no more MP3 trading on internet2, because why bother with compression when you can send the whole CD! The RIAA really can't do anything about it because they don't have an internet2 connection!

    It's funny, laugh!
    Insert laugh track here.

    Share pc and console game isos, DVD isos, mpeg-4 movies and anime, mp3's, lossless audio. Need I go on?

    Piracy man! You just jump on one of those european bittorrent sites and it's all there like an all you can eat media buffet. College students need money to get an "affordable" $2,000 HDTV, eat at overpriced college campus restaurants, and get piss drunk wasted then pay $5 per beer at the bars. You know it costs like $100 to pay someone to mod your console and some chips are over $50 just for the chip! We have expenses that don't have room for $50 per video game, $20 per movie, or $12 per music CD. Fuck man, it costs $1 per DVD to back this shit up. That's $100 per 100 DVDs and that isn't anything. I go through that in less than a semester.

    When our link to Internet2 went down last month, everyone noticed it because every campus connection suddenly got MUCH slower.

    Are you sure it wasn't just fallout from the new Paris Hilton video being released?

    "If you have this great fast connection with restrictions that make it useless to most people, then the beancounters are going to notice that you're paying a hefty sum each month for an effectively unused resource. They're going to start demanding their money back so they can spend it on a bigger football stadium or something."

    Thats why its good to go to Drexel: Internet2, no football team.
