Will increased used of Kontiki cause it to be traffic shaped?
With several video on demand applications being based on Kontiki will this lead to its traffic which is P2P in nature being traffic shaped or even blocked?

So far 4On Demand and Sky Anytime have used the application however the latest entrant BBC's iPlayer could cause an explosion in usage of Kontiki when it comes out of beta.

So far I've not seen much of iPlayer, but nothing I've read on the BBC site says anything about its P2P nature and its possible effect on the amount of bandwidth you may use.

That is a very good question. I have not heard of it, but it does sound like it could possibly happen based on the number of on demand applications that are running at one time.
