Re: Escalating Arms Race said by Matt:Encryption won't break their "knobs and tweaks", there has to be routing information in the TCP/UDP header and there is always "behavioral" traffic shaping. Encryption just encrypts the packet data, which is usually not what they use to perform QoS on traffic anyway. since you don't use them, you probably don't know, but OOL is fucking around at application protocol level. they specifically handicap bittorrent seed hosts and mess around with edk upload connections.

And? Encrypting the data still does nothing to the TCP Header, nor to the behavioral pattern of BitTorrent.
If you're throwing 500 connections a second to their router, they are going to know you're using P2P and limit you. Email, Web, FTP, VoIP, Gaming, it doesn't matter -- nothing "looks" like P2P traffic except P2P traffic. | | |
