Joltid Develops Peer-to-Peer Cache for Reducing ISP Traffic

Joltid, a start-up based in Stockholm, Sweden, has developed a caching product that it claims significantly reduces ISP bandwidth use associated with peer-to-peer (P2P) usage while providing faster downloads for end-users. Joltid's PeerCache transparently and temporarily caches FastTrack P2P traffic, thereby reducing up to 70% of FastTrack bandwidth. The FastTrack protocol is used by KaZaA, the most popular P2P application in the world, iMesh, the second most popular, and others.
