NNSquad - Network Neutrality Squad
[ NNSquad ] Re: Comcast announces tests of "protocol agnosticnetwork management"
I know a few of the folks on this list attended the IETF P2P infrastructure workshop last week, which I think was very constructive. I'd encourage interested parties to take a look at the various slide decks from the meeting, some of which may be relevant to some of the questions raised below. Cullen Jennings (IETF) has all presentations posted at http://idisk.mac.com/cullenfluffyjennings-Public?view=web <https://webmail.comcast.com/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://idisk.mac.com/cullenfluffyjennings-Public?view=web> for download (file = P2PI-Slides.zip). Our (Comcast) slide deck was the second presentation.

Who is being targeted, for how much bandwidth use, and what exactly will happen to them after said usage. I wonder if it would be helpful to develop some sort of guidelines/techniques for traffic management that we would approve of. I'd focus on full disclosure, scaling available bandwidth of the link back, not the QoS of the subscriber, and making it easy for subscribers to modify their behavior to avoid peak hours. I'd also like to know if the use of comcast's own content services will count towards totals for their definition of disproportionate use.
