Re: [AFMUG] Light Reading
The flip side of this, I've experimented with Netflix on the PS3 and PC quite a bit on my home router. As a result, I've set L7 tagging and QoS rules to keep Netflix from going nuts while preventing buffering on my edge router. My config essentially guaranteed 3Mbps for streaming video, but limited it to a max of 3Mbps. Problem I run into is I need a hotter router. Depending on the interpretation, my QoS rule that improves streaming video could be construed as throttling. - Original Message - From: Patrick Leary To: af@afmug.com Sent: Thursday, March 12, 2015 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Light Reading Not so sure about that Jon.

Re: [AFMUG] Light Reading
We are preparing to implement port 25 blocking Aside from the fact that we are so small as to not even be a blip, this is technically now a protected service? Verizon does it on DSL, will they have to pull the filters? I would hope this is covered under effective network managment as it partially eliminates illegal traffic, while still leaving equally similar pathways for legitimate traffic on othe rports or protocols. But then the problem comes in of SLA customers that it is open to, would that not be considered paid for prioritization of similar service (fast lane)?
