By sharing the test methodology and results, all P2P companies and ISPs can learn how to more efficiently deliver legal content. 'In addition, we need more data and analysis of how P2P applications deliver content over a variety of different networks. Now we are committing to lead the industry in codifying that,' said Robert Levitan, CEO of Pando Networks. 'At Pando, we have always believed that good P2P applications give users control. By having this framework in place, we will help P2P companies, ISPs and content owners find common ground to support consumers who want to use P2P applications to deliver legal content.'

We hope to get other industry experts, ISPs and P2P companies together this spring and publish the P2P Bill of Rights and Responsibilities' later this year. 'Doing so is in the best interest of everyone involved - ISPs, P2P companies and consumers. 'Working together, Comcast and Pando can help lead the discussion about what consumers should expect in terms of a P2P Bill of Rights and Responsibilities' for P2P users and ISPs,' said Tony Werner, Comcast Cable's Chief Technology Officer. The arrangement is yet another example of how these technical issues can be worked out through private business discussions and without the need for government intervention.

The Pando test will provide additional data to help Comcast migrate to a protocol-agnostic network management technique by the end of this year. It also builds on Pando's recent announcements of its P4P test results which demonstrated Pando's ability to reduce network congestion and speed content delivery by routing P2P traffic more effectively across cable, DSL, and fiber broadband networks. Today's announcement builds on Comcast's March 27th announcement to collaborate with BitTorrent and the broader Internet and ISP community to more effectively address issues associated with rich media content and network capacity management. Comcast, Pando and the P4P Working Group plan to publish the results of these tests so other ISPs can benefit from understanding how P2P applications might be optimized for traveling over different types of networks in different environments and geographies. These tests, along with tests Pando will conduct on a variety of other ISP networks, including cable, DSL, fiber and wireless, will measure things like performance, speed, distance and geography as well as the bandwidth consumption impact to the ISP. The purpose of the test will be to capture and analyze the data flow associated with downloading a file using Pando's P2P application. In addition, Comcast and Pando plan to conduct a test of Pando Network Awareв„ў P2P technology on Comcast's fiber-optic network. For example, P2P users should have the right to control their computers' resources when using P2P applications. The purpose would be to clarify what choices and controls consumers should have when using P2P applications as well as what processes and practices ISPs should use to manage P2P applications running on their networks. The two companies plan to collaborate and engage with industry experts, other ISPs and P2P companies, content providers and others to set a framework for the BRR that can serve as a best practice. announced today they will lead an industry-wide effort to create a 'P2P Bill of Rights and Responsibilities' (BRR) for peer-to-peer (P2P) users and Internet Service Providers (ISPs).
