Comment on Twitch Will Shut Down Its Streaming Platform in South Korea
JohnWorks@sh.itjust.works 11 months agoIt’s interesting that it’s still classified as foreign media even if the streamers could be local. Wonder if there’ll be a Korean twitch competitor that comes out of this.

There is AfreecaTV. I don’t think Twitch was a big competitor to them locally in the first place. At least from the little I know about it, so take that with an extra train of salt.

Supposedly that service is P2P, so that's how they operate without the fees.

That and they are a Korean company as far as I know.
They sponsor a Starcraft 1 League in Korea at least.

So, if the ISP eventually deployed cgnat and broke P2P, they’ll going to be screwed, right?

Not necessarily. You can run servers that only assist users to establish a connection handshake from behind CGNAT, then all traffic happens peer to peer.
Now, whether the ISPs can get away with blocking that handshake is another story…

you can use p2p services behind cgnat, like how do you think torrent works?
