Re: Tell the TRUTH
said by NOCMan  :ISP's should immediately prioritize all http, ssh, vpn, smpt, pop/imap, and regulate all bittorrent traffic down to bulk priority. Everything else gets first chomp at the pipe and the bulk gets there when it gets there. Agreed. It's relatively easy for ISPs to look at traffic patterns, determine most used, least "dangerous", and time sensitive protocols, and then set priority weights as appropriate. I would guess that it costs less for hardware to implement QoS than it does for hardware to conduct deep level inspection of traffic. |
