[ NNSquad ] U. of Colorado: Comcast now resetting wide range of TCP traffic
The University of Colorado at Boulder is reporting that Comcast has shifted from inserting "forged" reset packets solely to disrupt P2P traffic, to algorithms that can disrupt a wide range of traffic, apparently irrespective of protocol, including potentially e-mail and Web browsing. If verified, this suggests that instead of developing a sensible traffic management policy, Comcast may have simply extended their disruptive reset strategy more generally. First-hand reports or other additional info on this are welcome. The U. of C. report is at: http://systems.cs.colorado.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Broadband_Network_Management --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
