Guaranteed bandwidth shared lines are a violation of net neutrality. Tell me how this differs from having a Priority Lane that's reserved for Comcast's real-time video streams. Tell lawmakers how to write laws that differentiate them, even when cable companies are playing word and classification games. Net Neutrality is a far more complex issue than Title II regulation in the US. Title II is a good first step, but will bring with it many problems, that we'll soon have to deal with.

Perhaps what I am thinking of is predetermined point-to-point networking. Though creating a ring or a rigid mesh on top of that for such networks seems to create the whole segregated network problem again. Perhaps I feel like point-to-point (rather than classification to any receiver) could be treated differently.

Tell lawmakers how to write laws that differentiate them, even when cable companies are playing word and classification games. The solution for this is quite simple. The customer can buy whatever performance and quality of service they like, but it applies to all the customer's traffic, to any transit peer up to and through the peering point.

> Guaranteed bandwidth shared lines are a violation of net neutrality. Perhaps of an poorly written net neutrality law. But can you predict what will be a violation of net neutrality before the laws are written and the courts interpret them? It's certainly a complex issue, requiring deep understanding of the Internet. I support it in principle, but have little faith that any government will handle it well.
