I'm updating my labnotes for my network management paper regarding the
use of proxy caches, and previously I have pointed to the possibility
of caching peer-to-peer traffic as shown in the paper Deconstructing
the Kazaa Network
http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?coll=GUIDE&dl=GUIDE&id=837393
I would like to know whether or not caching of peer-to-peer is
something that ISPs actually do today, and if not why not. I imagine
there are probably some interesting legal interactions, but I'm eager
to find out how industry is moving in this field.
