What is this "P2P problem" you speak of?  Does it perhaps consist of the
fact that your marketing department advertised with unlimited pipes,
which some customers then started using, because they're more creative
in thinking up new uses than your marketing department, and suffer less
from wishful thinking about oversubscription rates than your technical
staff did?
