This seems like an interesting tool for users that are seeing their

at the TCP level. It is technically vulnerable to a few things, but
raises the bar for the RST-injection and similar techniques currently
used to vandalize p2p traffic.

The Internet service providers are talking about building profiles of their 
users. So as a condition to get broadband access, they are creating profiles 
about you for advertising purposes.
