Re: So has anyone noticed the problem of throttling with Skype? said by randomzero:Rogers CANNOT interrupt/modify VOIP (Skype) traffic in anyway. the problem with Skype is that it acts like a P2P node and if you send a file it's basically doing peer to peer. So it's not entirely the telecom's fault.

Telecom Regulatory Policy CRTC 2009-657
125. In the case of time-sensitive audio or video traffic (i.e. real-time audio or video such as video conferencing and voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services), ITMPs that introduce delays or jitter15 are likely to cause degradation to the service. The Commission considers that when noticeable degradation occurs, it amounts to controlling the content and influencing the meaning and purpose of the telecommunications in question.
126. Accordingly, the Commission finds that use of an ITMP resulting in the noticeable degradation of time-sensitive Internet traffic will require prior Commission approval under section 36 of the Act. |
