NNSquad - Network Neutrality Squad
[ NNSquad ] Re: Comments on NNSquad Purpose
Unfortunately I think it's a question of context, not just end results. If a customer asks their provider to enable a QoS policy so that their favorite application takes precedence, then the effect is the same as if the provider enabled this policy on their own. The difference is not in the end result, it's the intent. Perhaps a general rule of thumb should be that "who decides" determines whether the provider is acting in a neutral fashion or not. -Benson On 11/8/07, Robb Topolski <robb@funchords.com> wrote: > > Said by Bob Ellis <ellisb-m@ix.netcom.com>: > > Second, the term "net neutrality" has been used in a very narrow > > context: charging for performance", an entirely different problem then > > the recent incidents. > > While I agree that Net Neutrality has been sometimes described as > preventing the situation of paying extra for higher performance of > favored applications, it is not an apt description. > > Using the Comcast P2P interference as an example, in this case, > Comcast has degraded the performance of a non-favored application. > > The end result is the same. > > Robb Topolski > _______________________________________________ > NNSquad mailing list information: > http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad >
