And apparantly P2P was down to 20% or less in '08 with youtube using over 50%... No wonder traffic shaping hasn't made a huge difference.
In that context shaping P2P traffic down to 25% of port capacity isn't actually that draconian if it was only using 20% to begin with 
Mind you, I use a lot lower percentage of my line's capacity than I did a while ago mainly because my hard drive space hasn't increased in line with internet connection speeds. |

By 2014, global online video will approach 57 percent of consumer Internet traffic (up from 40 percent in 2010).

Interesting stat (imho) from Sandvine
Quote:
BitTorrent remains the most used file-sharing protocol in North America, and the total amount of P2P traffic is still very significant. Sandvine’s research reveals that on an average day, 53.3% of all upstream traffic can be attributed to P2P applications. P2P is less dominant on the downstream side. It is currently at 13.2%, following real time entertainment (45.7%) and web browsing (24.3%).
The bandwidth usage patterns during peak hours are slightly different, but still a massive 34.31% of all upstream traffic can be attributed to BitTorrent at these times. The BitTorrent percentage of downstream traffic lies at 8.39% during the busiest time of the day.....
.......In common with North America, BitTorrent also remains the most used file-sharing protocol in Europe. The report doesn’t give any exact stats, but roughly 40% of all upstream traffic and 10% of all downstream traffic can be attributed to P2P applications on an average day.
Bandwidth usage patterns during peak hours show that of 29.97% of the upstream traffic can be attributed to BitTorrent during these times, versus 8.29% of downstream traffic. PPLive, the popular peer-to-peer streaming video network, also has a significant share with 11.76% of all upstream traffic and 4.41% of downstream traffic during peak hours
