- gnode 9y agoIf white-listing is employed, everyone not on the white-list is throttled. As peer-to-peer distributed applications typically connect with other users of the application they need only not be included in the white-list to stifle the performance of p2p applications. ISPs could easily provide you a high speed to Netflix, Amazon, and Youtube's IP ranges. and limit it to 10kbps otherwise.
- zaarn 9y agoBlacklisting is complicated because the web is large. The blacklist would quickly approach gigantic sizes and slow down internet while the ISP is scanning requests. On the other hand, a whitelist can be much shorter (Facebook, Youtube, Google, that's maybe 50 entries including the CDNs) and simpler (don't pay? not in it.)
