Re: From the ennemy's mouth: P2P no longer largest bandwidth use

said by Black Moon:

why did they not invent machines to make everything better and faster?
They could be used that way but ISPs are using them to curb their costs instead.

Traffic shaping would be a good thing if the goal in its application was to prioritize traffic while keeping the pipe full. Many people do this manually on their own home connections with QoS settings. A typical setting would be to prioritize VoIP and deprioritize P2P. This doesn't restrict the use of available bandwidth but just makes sure that time sensitive data gets ahead in the queue while bulk transfers still get through.
