Re: Policy goals and rules are different things said by morbo:if providers use it across the board, that just provides more evidence for the need for strict net neutrality laws. This is NOT a net neutrality issue. If the legislators ever actually screw up and get some net neutrality type of law passed, I think there will be a lot of disappointed BBR members. |

00000 | as long as the law takes into account the best interests of the business community and its consumers (and not best interests of dumb-pipe providers like comcast and at&t), then the net neutrality laws will make comcasts actions illegal. |

kudos:2 | I seriously doubt you will ever see an ISPs ability to manage their network made illegal. If you do, get ready for price increases and/or decreases in service offerings. |

00000 | manage a network and degrade and block certain legitimate traffic are two different things.
it's important that everyone understand the issue clearly. |

If I'm managing a network and it is getting pummeled by abusive users, I will cap and shape whatever needs to be done to bring the network back to a nominal level for a majority of my customers. You say degrade, I say shape. You say block, I say who's blocking? Capping is a good solution and shaping is good for the peak times of use that the abusive users get online. |

kudos:2 | It's not a debate of semantics, it's network management. I'll go back to my original statement that I believe there will be a lot of disappointed BBR readers if your net neutrality law ever sees daylight. |

How does one manage capacity without interfering with at least some quantity of traffic? |
