The Internet faced its first congestion crisis in 1986 when too much network traffic caused a series of Internet meltdowns when everything slowed to a crawl. If memory serves, that was due to the Morris worm.
Personally, I think a lot of net.congestion could be eliminated if we simply lopped off China from the 'net. All they do is use it to attack our defense and infrastructure networks anyway. Screw 'em.

There's plenty of P2P traffic on the 'net from the US and Europe. I don't think this particular issue is China's fault.
Read the article, it's a good one.
