[Spin]

 From a news site:

"Cisco, announced a new technology which will make it possible 
providers Internet to control the traffic generated by the software of 
Peer to Peer.  The Majors are likely to jump there to above ask the 
suppliers to limit or tax these exchanges. "

And from a Cisco News Release (5/12/2003

"...In addition, Cisco is announcing a host of new IOS-based management 
tools for sophisticated content, traffic and network management. Load 
Balancing provides MSOs with a higher level of intelligence, giving 
them the ability to efficiently utilize available bandwidth by 
dynamically assigning modems to available channel capacity.  Subscriber 
Traffic Management enables monitoring, analysis and traffic control on 
a per-subscriber basis. These new features complement functions such as 
Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR) and Netflow, which provide 
network-based application classification and destination based billing, 
respectively.
...MSOs worldwide are looking at how they can profitably and 
competitively expand their data services while managing the challenges 
caused by peer-to-peer traffic. Today's announcements are significant 
to the MSOs in that they can now evolve their installed based of Cisco 
CMTSs with the content and traffic management capabilities required for 
the deployment of tiered services," said Pankaj Patel, vice president 
and general manager, Cable Business Unit at Cisco Systems. "The ability 
to add both processing power and intelligence at the edge will help the 
MSOs further increase free cash flow from their IP services portfolio."

Will be this the solution from Cisco to manage P2P traffic? And what 
about Cisco 6400, 7200 and 10000 and xDSL support?

Some one has more about this?
