Problem: Costly Links and Charges, Frequent Upgrades

A small percentage of users create the lion's share (60-80%) of residentially generated traffic, consuming valuable resources which impacts revenue-generating traffic, such as VoIP. As P2P traffic volume continues to grow uncontrolled, so do service providers' transit and peering imbalance charges. This, coupled with the resulting capital expenditures for infrastructure build-outs can make aggregate P2P seem like a service provider's nightmare.

Solution: CloudShield P2P Control

CloudShield's rule-based, P2P Control solution provides granular visibility into P2P traffic transiting service providers' networks and enables shaping that traffic at up to 10Gbps. This aggregate P2P solution allows policies to be added or modified on a protocol-by-protocol or a time-of-day basis. Carriers can enforce quotas for bandwidth consumption. In turn, bandwidth can be liberated to: improve customer satisfaction; reduce operating costs and capital expenditures or generate other revenue.

  • Dramatically Reduces Operating Costs and Increases Revenue
    With the power to shape traffic, service providers can eliminate or limit peering imbalance charges, and contain link charges. This also preserves bandwidth for revenue generating business traffic, no longer crowded out by residential P2P downloads or other 'free-rider' traffic.
  • Improves Customer Retention
    With CloudShield's ability to shape traffic, carriers can more reliably meet service level agreements (SLAs), improving and ensuring customer satisfaction.
  • Reduces Capital Expenditures
    CloudShield's P2P Aggregate Control Solution provides knowledge about the nature of P2P traffic and enables policy, service, and bandwidth control. In turn, this allows network infrastructure build out to be controlled and deferred.
