1 edit | The bad thing... This will simply force ISP's who are using software such as Sandvine to disallow connections to other PC's that are using this "Header protocol encryption" is detected.
It will buy the p2p'er a few weeks (give or take a couple) of unthrottled sharing, BUT at the cost of eventual temporary p2p strangulations & asphyxiation. (figuratively of course)
Have you and a friend ever played a simple game like Pong, and your friend(s) have gotten so good that it takes forever for a point to get scored? Yes a point eventually gets scored but the ball (or square) starts ponging again? Think of the time the ball is on the ground as the stop gap measures that pirates employ to remove or work around p2p restrictions, and the time the ball is volleying as middle ground. Look a the ratios and you will see that there is more middle "Throttling" and very little bypassing. When the ISP has the ball they have sucessfully employed an all out block, when Pirates have the ball they have temporarily won (wether it be a new app that bypasses the restrictive software in place by the ISP). But eventually the ISP is going to require you to "Serve" (the ball that is), They simply aren't going to leave the ball in your court. But they also know that when they have the ball they have the obligation to serve it back. Oh and another note, Since you are using their court (paying a monthly fee), and using their hardware to do so, this means they are also the referees. SO imagine that game again with a bias referee, REALLY biased. |

kudos:16 | said by ctceo:This will simply force ISP's who are using software such as Sandvine to disallow connections to other PC's that are using this "Header protocol encryption" is detected. That's the point, they can't do that. The only way to block/throttle this will be to block/throttle all encrypted traffic. Rogers attempted to do this in response to BitTorrent encryption. It backfired, however, as too many applications use encryption in this day and age. For example, people weren't terribly happy when their online banking and e-mail slowed to a crawl.
It's a moot point anyway. People who want don't want to be throttled will simply move to ISPs that offer unfettered access. That's what I did. |

What sucks about that is when those "unfettered access" ISP's get traffic they were not prepared for they will start to "fetter" access just like the rest. I just hope that everybody migrates slowly instead of one mass exodus. |
