Comment on Twitch Will Shut Down Its Streaming Platform in South Korea
pleb_maximus@feddit.de 9 months agoThere 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.

I do too. But I always get behind and have to binge it to get back up to date.
Currently binging Season 14. So I’ll hopefully be up to date around christmas again.

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?

I’m behind cgnat myself and I can download but can’t seed. If everyone is behibd cgnat the swarm would be dead fast. In Korea, there are only 3 ISPs and if they collude to use cgnat with client isolation, they can kill these P2P scheme used by streaming site and boost their profit sharing revenue.
