Although P2P file-sharing applications have traditionally cost service providers, it has been the main driver of broadband adoption. So it makes sense for service providers to keep their subscribers happy. Identifying P2P file-sharing traffic allows service providers to implement subscriber-friendly policies that reduce the cost of P2P on the network, while improving the subscriber experience.
