And as it has also been pointed out, Netflix controls the software at both ends of the

only benefit would be the game the inbound/outbound ratio, it would actually harm the
Internet overall.
They could probably push the ratio above 1:1 as a lot of people have uplinks
that are faster than the max downlink speeds that Netflic provides.
And if they did that to MY network, I'd null-route them completely for abuse.
Stick THAT in their pipe and smoke it.
but if you are claiming that all that matters is which direction the most bits
are flying, what's your justification?
At that point it's your client's machines that are generating the most traffic.
