Essentially, CDP will enable BitTorrent clients to make the most of any caching devices within an ISP's network, potentially accelerating the delivery of content.

'Today, people use the Internet for many bandwidth-intensive services and consumers are increasingly aware of the quality of service needed for their favourite applications,' said Ashwin Navin, President and Co-founder of BitTorrent. 'With the popularity of BitTorrent usage worldwide, ISP networks are being taxed in a way they weren't designed for. As a remedy to this, the Cache Discovery Protocol is providing carriers with an economical and scalable solution that improves the end-user experience.'

'CacheLogic has developed an innovative solution to address a major problem,' he added.
