ABSTRACT
Broadband deployments are reaching critical mass in most developed nations – leading to the next wave of evolution of the internet – the ”video-enabled Internet”. Together with the emergence of user-generated content and long-tail opportunities, the explosion of video traffic on the public internet is predicted.

In this talk, we will look at the effects of explosive growth of video on the Internet and strategies (system architectures) for dealing with this growth. We will look at distributed architectures for video, including peer-to-peer and hybrid network architectures. Time permitting; we will look at the economics of the situation, given the current network tariffs, peering relationships and transit paths, etc.
