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. ISPs have no business worrying about HTTP, SSH, VPN, SMTP -- blah blah blah.
ISPs should worry about one thing: I.P. -- Internet Protocol
Any protocol above that level is really not the ISPs concern!
How do you write transport-layer or application-layer network software and predict how it will behave on the Internet if every ISP has their hand on a knob tuning the protocols to their specific liking?
If VOIP doesn't work in the presence of BitTorrent (it does), then let's have the software and network engineers figure out one OPEN and PUBLISHED solution that will work world-wide instead of a bunch of ISPs and transit providers who insist on working in secret.
