According to traffic shaping vendor Sandvine (http://sandvine.com/), some 44% of all bandwidth consumed on networks operated by North American Internet service providers is thanks to P2P (http://www.multichannel.com/article/CA6572401.html?nid=4262). Sandvine compiled data from several "leading" ISPs, and found that the largest consumers of bandwidth were file sharing (43.5%); Web browsing (27.3%); and streaming media (14.8%). Other usage included VPNs (5.9%); newsgroups (5.6%); online games (1.4%); and voice over IP (0.2%). Exploring upstream consumption only: P2P (75.0%); tunneling (9.9%); and Web browsing (9.1%).
