If this is Comcast's position, then there are many other ways to do this without forging and injecting RST TCP packets onto the Internet and to their customers. Furthermore, what they are doing ultimately does not prevent "network abuse," nor does it stop customers from "violating their terms of their contracts" (which are overly broad and vague). As implemented by Comcast, the popular BitTorrent and eDonkey clients still can upload at full speed -- so what's being prevented? _______________________________________________ NNSquad mailing list information: http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
