BitTorrent and Internet Congestion
Internet congestion occurs when demand exceeds available network capacity.
Large files and huge numbers of simultaneous users can make the problem worse.
Peer-to-peer architecture can distribute some of the traffic across participants.
BitTorrent's model is built around that principle.
Instead of every user downloading exclusively from one source, data can be exchanged between peers.
This doesn't eliminate network congestion.
But it demonstrates a different way to distribute traffic.
As digital content continues becoming larger, infrastructure engineers will need multiple strategies for managing demand.
