Don't know about the word "ban"; what we need is more like BGP than DRM. Ideally, we want the clients to do sensible things because it works best, not because they are being coerced. Further, once you start banning things you get into all kinds of problems; not least that interests are no longer aligned and trust is violated. If DillTorrent is working well with a localpref metric of -1 (where 0 is the free-running condition with neither local or distant preference) there shouldn't be any traffic within the DSL pool anyway, without coercion. There is obvious synergy with CDNs here. Alex _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nanog.org/mailman/listinfo/nanog
