Today
reading the news bulletin Legislative Library of Congress, I came across a pleasant surprise: Advances bill net neutrality.
I have carefully reviewed its contents, but in short what is established is an amendment to the Consumer Protection Act, aimed at preventing the practice of traffic shaping and port blocking.
later promise to review and discuss the project.
But surely good news.
Project.
Note. At the link are the names of the MPs presented the motion-of all parties. To take into account when voting.
I have carefully reviewed its contents, but in short what is established is an amendment to the Consumer Protection Act, aimed at preventing the practice of traffic shaping and port blocking.
(copied from the preamble of the draft)
Traffic Shaping: also known as "throttling", consists of measures taken by the Internet provider for two purposes:
1. Reduce the consumption of bandwidth in protocols other than HTTP (web browsing), ie file transfers protocols Peer to Peer (P2P) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) limiting the usefulness of the link by the user as just browsing the net.
2. Improve overall network latency. In making traffcc shaping, you can get a better return on the links to the detriment of the ability of network users to transfer files.
The system operates through a router or a dedicated server that identifies the packets of connections, for example, P2P limiting their speed and getting quite inefficient transfer.
An example of the ability of ISPs to use these means is purchase by VTR Banda Ancha Nortel Networks Shasta 5000 team called in late 2003 for precisely this purpose.
Blocked Ports: Because Internet communications are conducted through various ports of entry or exit, it is possible that an ISP block certain ports to prevent the existence of any traffic through them. For example, if you decide to close the port 21, not be able to download FTP, or if we close the port 25 is not able to send emails from our computer.
A must add the previous two practices that limit the access speed, which prohibit the installation of equipment between the PC and modem or the prohibition of share access with others, among other practices that limit freedom of users to fully exploit the potential that the Internet has to offer.
