Pandora's box.

Once an ISP has the tools to understand a differentiate P2P traffic, what will stop the government from requiring them to investigate the traffic?

My theory for ISPs: The less you know about your traffic, the better. If you KNOW about your P2P stuff, you can't claim that you don't any more. If you cant claim that you don't, then you will have to spend money on govt and legal requests to investigate P2P activities.

Ignorance is bliss.

You can't manage a network if you don't know what's traversing the connections. Contrary to the desires/beliefs of some of the elitists in this forum who believe they should have an unfettered "dumb pipe" from their ISPs, a network does need to be managed.

Remaining ignorant is also apathetic IMO.
