Discriminating on the origin of the packet does not require any kind of deep inspection since the originator is in IP metadata. Net neutrality means not discriminating on the originator of the packet, not the content.
- wtallis 6y agoRepeating your assertion does not make it true. Net Neutrality has always included an aspect of not discriminating for or against certain protocols, because giving preference to specific protocols has the effect of giving preference to the incumbent services that are using those protocols and dissuading innovation and the development of alternatives. Net Neutrality is about ISPs being neutral and not influencing the market for services offered over the net. Since ISPs can unfairly influence the market using techniques beyond just inspecting packet origins and destinations, Net Neutrality has to cover those techniques too.
