I would actually put money on most of those UDP rate limits being in place because of uTP Bittorrent traffic. It's dumb and it needs to stop. Nothing between two networks on the Internet should be inspecting the transport layer.
And since when has 'guilty by association' been a good reason to condemn anything?
- cambyrne 11y agoIt's not a matter of guilt. It is a practical reality of the ddos abuse on the net. It is massive and breaks network. It is all we can do to keep the net up at times. Serious.
- valleyhut 11y agoIs the net up if we can't fully use it? UDP is an important part of the net. If we can't use it, then the net is not fully operational.
- zurn 11y agoThere are other ways to combat abuse than to filter out half the popular application protocols on the net. Eg start depeering ISPs who aren't swift in limiting/taking down their DoS spewing compromised customers.
