Net neutrality is dead, but it probably doesn’t matter
- andrewfong 12y agoFixing bufferbloat doesn't solve the fact that ISPs have lots of local monopolies and duopolies. If there's a sudden drop in bandwidth demand, there's nothing to keep an ISP from decreasing supply to create demand for a fast lane.
- kalmi10 12y agoIs it me or does this hardly make eny sense? Bufferbloat has no effect on the available bandwidth in a completly switched network. (It might confuse protocols resulting in bad utilization, but has little to do with net neutrality.) If ISPs limit the bandwidth available to each content provider, then bufferbloat does not enter into the picture. (Okay, depending on how the limiting is done, it might cause extra bufferbloat.)

- hueving 12y agoComplaining about bufferbloat is a red herring. It doesn't matter if it's fixed if Netflix is trying to push 40 Gbps of traffic to a set of customers across some ISP's 10 Gbps interconnect.
- legulere 12y agoThe view that net neutrality is dead is just Americentrism.
