Is the Net Too Neutral? Larry Hardesty \| 03-11-08 MIT Technology Review [ I meant to append this item to my previous post, since I thought it apropos, but the edit timer zapped me before I had a chance. ] <snip> "Treating data packets differently--prioritizing some over others--is a violation of the most austere version of Net neutrality. But the idea finds support in what may at first seem an unlikely place. Eric Klinker is chief technology officer at BitTorrent, the company founded by Bram Cohen, inventor of the BitTorrent protocol and another alumnus of the TR35. Klinker testified on behalf of his company at the FCC hearings at Harvard, but he agrees with Chiang that on occasion, impeding BitTorrent video transfers can be harmless. Someone watching a movie, for instance, places a higher priority on the next 10 minutes' worth of data than on the last 10 minutes'. Packets containing the movie's end credits could thus be tagged to indicate their low priority, and the network operator would know that they could be delayed during periods of congestion." </snip> technologyreview.com ------
