I would imagine that an absence of neutrality is still well within Cisco's interests — its an opportunity to design and sell a whole new class of products and services specifically around throttling and limiting traffic.
- AnthonyMouse 12y agoNot necessarily. The current brand of neutrality violation seems to be an ISP allowing its peering connection(s) with transit providers to languish while charging large content providers like Netflix a fee to get a separate uncongested connection to their customers. That doesn't require a lick of packet inspection hardware and it involves the ISP buying less Cisco gear because they no longer need to carry packets from all the smaller content providers who wouldn't/couldn't pay and either went bankrupt or saw less usage as a result of the degraded performance.
