As I define it: No packet shaping based on what service users are accessing; all packets are created equal.
Wikipedia also has a quite good definition. A key line from it: "The principle advocates no restrictions by Internet service providers and governments on content, sites, platforms, the kinds of equipment that may be attached, and the modes of communication."
Sadly, it's a term which is used to mean whatever the speaker wants it to mean. Political language does horrible things to words.
- protomyth 16y agoActually, I want packet shaping as long as its under my control (my netflix is more important than the download of software updates). "Sadly, it's a term which is used to mean whatever the speaker wants it to mean. Political language does horrible things to words." You nailed the words to my biggest problem. I see how bills are named, and really won't say I support something unless I have a real definition.
