Apparently uTorrent is switching from TCP to UDP for file transfers. This is rather frightening and might force me to rethink my opinions on net neutrality. The following article is what brought this issue to my attention:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/12/01/richard_bennett_utorrent_udp/ We've all heard stories about the days before TCP congestion control, which made it possible for the Internet to scale. Is there still a case for net neutrality if app writers abandon etiquette on the Internet? -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
