[ NNSquad ] "discrimination based on user-history" - will fairness make congestion the norm? 

Even the latest proposals to move away from protocol-agnostic
management techniques to "fair share" management have been
criticized as discriminatory against particular users; there is
currently an active discussion about this between certain
participants in the IETF's P2P Infrastructure Workshop.  And
according to some advocates who participated in the P2Pi Workshop,
"discrimination based on user-history is no better than
protocol-discriminatory behavior.""


Here is the source, from Robb Topolski:

I think it's worth reading the entire thread.
