BTをスピードアップするプロトコルCDP
BitTorrentがイギリスのCachelogicと共同でBTを加速化するプロトコルCDPを開発中。キャッシュ・ディスカバリー・プロトコルと呼ばれるこの技術を使うと、IPアドレスを自動的に割り当てるDHCDのようにBTクライアントがネットワーク上の良いシードを見つけ出してより早いスピードでファイルをダウンロードすることができるようになる。特にシード数が少ない状況下でCDPが役に立つ。
BitTorrent, a San Francisco-based peer-to-peer networking start-up is working with Cachelogic of Cambridge, UK on a new protocol called the “Cache Discovery Protocol” or CDP, which supposedly will act like DHCP for peer to peer networks. The protocol has been developed by Cachelogic. DHCP assigns IP addresses to devices on a network automatically, without much mucking around on the end user part. Similarly, the new CDP would allows BitTorrent client to auto discover better seeds that have been cached on the network, and allow faster downloads of the files. The new technology is especially helpful in situations where there are only a handful of seed files.
