Re: Is this a good thing for the net? 100 will try at creeping up, and more connections will experience packet drop -- (more connections, but not a bigger proportion) -- but either way, routers don't understand connections -- they just deal with packets and when congestion hits, they drop in proportion.
If B is transmitting more data than A, then B will have more drops. We have to mentally turn the situation back into connections in order to predict what happens next.
As to your last sentence:
Client-server is not more legitimate than P2P (The Internet started as P2P), and well-moneyed companies don't deserve the only voice on the 'net.
You might like a receive-only network -- but we've had that before, we called it "Television."
