InternetEvolution.com publishes groundbreaking EANTC benchmark test of peer-to-peer (P2P) filtering devices

Internet Evolution, a TechWeb (former CMP) online magazine and SNEP (Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique, the organization that represents the interests of the French music industry) commissioned EANTC to independently test the performance and functionality of P2P filters. 

The test focused large-scale carrier grade systems designed to filter vast amounts of P2P Internet traffic in real time.  We developed new advanced test methodology to conduct realistic application layer tests.

We invited 28 vendors; five participated but only two agreed to publication of their results: Arbor/Ellacoya and ipoque.  Both the Ellacoya E30 and Ipoque PRX-5G devices showed excellent performance and very good P2P detection and regulation capabilities.
