Om Malik: Skype, The Bandwidth Hog?
Om Malik writes over on his Next Generation blog:
Paul Kedrosky just experienced the worst of Skype. His computer became like a super-super node and basically overwhelmed his 100 megabit per second connection to the Internet. It has been a deep dark secret in the Skype world that how super fast hosts in the West are being used as supernodes for the benefit of others who are geeky enough to prevent this from happening.
As more and more Skype-enabled phones go online, how bad of a problem this “pipe hijack” will become?
