P2P in the R&E community: from reactivity to proactivity

Ana PrestonThe University of Tennessee

May 15, 2001


A little bit of history1999: May: Napster is born December: RIAA files suit against Napster

2000: Jan-Feb: Some universities begin blocking student

access May: Metallica suit June: RIAA seeks injunction


2000... August:

Judge stays injunction Canarie/NLANR/I2 Techs meeting (Aug. 24):

“Punishing the traffic of one application, using the rough technology we currently have available, accelerates users migrating to new apps more difficult to identify.” Steve Wallace, Indiana University

September: “Blocking Napster is like standing before hundreds of hungry jackals and shouting “Shoo!” to keep them from 400 pounds of raw hamburger.” (Chronicle, 9/21/00)


2000 September:

some discussion on Educause’s CIO listserv (policy) and also on ResNet listserv (control and traffic monitoring/shaping) http://LISTSERV.ND.EDU/archives/resnet-l.html

October: Internet2 Member Meeting (Atlanta, GA) BoF: Taming the

bandwidth hogs…how can your campus do it.

Creation of list to further discussion on issues brought up at BoF listserv.utk.edu/archives/p2p.html


2000: what do universities do?

Go after Napster and ban its use because of liability for being a content provider or network performance.

Not ban its use and wait… News.com: a third of U.S. colleges and universities

are blocking Napster Napster very much alive Something is out there...


2001 Missed Hawaii :-( :-( February:

Feb.14: 9th Circuit Ruling (Federal appeals court sends injunction down to district court)

Feb. 14-16: O’Reilly P2P Conference, San Francisco, CA

Over 900 participants , but less than ten from universities.Application developers, venture capitalists, and lots of established companies as well as start ups. To explore the technical and business dimensions of the p2p space…www.openp2p.com


2001 March:

By March 11, Napster “shall use reasonable measures in identifying variations of the filename(s), or of the spelling of the titles or artists' names, of the works identified by plaintiffs.”

Spring Internet2 Member Meeting:- P2P thunderdome: The Impact of p2p apps. on campuses- plus another session on The Old is New Again: or is it, i.e., good uses of p2p in other areas other than file sharing: folding@home, educommons project

Pig-latin encoders (e.g. Aimster), new and better implementations of gnutella and so on…


2001 April:

April 10-11: Networking 2001The future of p2p applications

what policy (including legal) steps will be necessary to ensure campus bandwidth is used for its primary purpose - teaching and learning.

Plus almost monthly conferences on p2p on the enterprise, p2p computing, etc.

P2P: what it is and what it is not

Defining P2P:

Napster, and ideas and software that followed in its path. Two general families of ideas are called peer to peer: decentralization and dark matter. Also known as P2P. (Lucas Gonze, openp2p.com)

Pure definition: isn’t this the original concept behind the Internet?

P2P involves “a class of applications that takes advantage of resources—storage, cycles, content, human presence—available at the edges of the Internet.”



P2P: representative of bigger idealogical changes that are taking place: content, control and choice are returned to users( without the structure of the current Internet getting in the way).

decentralization of information exchange :why individuals, lawmakers, governments, and corporations are concerned. - intellectual property laws - is there a market out there (enterprise, research, education, ??)

P2P is not a technology, but an idea, a mindset.

The real reason the RIAA came after Napster...

Napster brought up the antiquity and "out of touch" Internet business strategy of the recording industry.

Notions of copyright and intellectual property need to be put in a digital-age context (and new business models will need to be developed and implemented)

"Napster, only online for 12 months, already posseses a better brand name than the established record labels, and [is] thus meeting with widespread acceptance from the online community. 14,000 songs are exchanged via Napster per MINUTE - no record label has anything comparable to counter this.” (late Feb. 2001)

whitepaper from Diebold/time Labs, www.diebold-digital.de


Be scared, be very scared...

In the year 2002, the government has outlawed MP3s and any related material including Napster. The FBI has created a department called the MP3 Task Force to help combat illegal MP3s, the Task Force are two former musicians, Agent Farley, and Agent Hopkins, together they will infiltrate the MP3 black market and put an end to MP3s forever.http://www.filmwave.com/mp3/


Today: P2P is very much alive... How universities have responded:

Banning it (mainly b/c it clogs the network) “Passively” Monitoring (and keeping tabs on

top hogs…) Blocking, Rate Limiting, Fair Usage Policy

Implementations Educating (on copyright law and impact.) Not doing anything at all and waiting…


The challenges... Should you control p2p applications and if so, on

what basis? Is this the right question anymore? planning for constantly increasing bandwidth

demand without increasing funding. Bandwidth: for students (and staff and

faculty/reserarchers): How much? What is fair? How to implement?

P2P applications are changing our traditional paradigms.

[archives at http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/p2p.html]


Nothing new, yet... advent of P2P applications is challenging some of the

broader Internet architecture models

“Universities have been the first to face these challenges, and as a result, universities are increasingly looking [or could be looking] into new and innovative architecture and service models encompassing notions like settlement free exchange-point based peering, massive peering, GigaPOPs, dark fiber nets, neutral collocation facilities, self organizing nets, etc.” (from a post to the p2p list)


Mark your calendars Oct. 4-5, 2001, following the Fall Internet2 Member

meeting at Austin, TX (Univ. of Texas at Austin, Sept. 30 - Oct. 4, 2001).

The first R&E p2p workshop!


The p2p workshop! Our goal:

We will specifically explore the technical and future dimensions of the fast-growing P2P services spaces and the opportunities and challenges presented for universities.


What this will be about P2P application developers, users and us (??) in the

same room to share experiences and challenges. Exploration into how universities can integrate and

perhaps even innovate with this "revolution,” while providing vehicle (or models, ideas, and such) through which universities can benefit.

Advantages of P2P models for applications in research, learning and teaching.

What could there be for the R&E community for future opportunities?


A. How do these things work? In general, how are P2P applications designed and what

are the basic kinds of architectures/models that are used.

What are the issues and challenges that come up when creating P2P systems? Are there ways that standardized architectures can be promoted that allow for collaboration between universities and P2P application developers?

Network engineers have vested interest in understanding how P2P technology operates so that they can make networks operate efficiently, perhaps in spite of P2P applications being used.


B. P2P in the real world How are the most innovative models are being used "in

the real world"? What are the policy and implications when these

applications are used in real case scenarios. Research and science (e.g., genome@home, climate simulation,

economics, medicine) Academia, education and learning - K-20 and more: educational

p2p applications --LEARNSTER (see www.educommons.org)- what are the advantages of P2P systems for learning and educating.

Enterprise: Groove, Porivo, OpenCola, Parabon, etc. Other...


C. Approaching use and innotivation

To provide a survey of successful methods that are being used at universities

The issues surrounding the ever-growing demand for bandwidth

What does it take to maximize both commodity and Internet2 bandwidth?

With P2P, where will this innovation take us and how do we take advantage of the possibilities; how do we get people to think of P2P in innovative ways? who should we be getting interested in that innovation?
