New tool would help internet providers thwart file-sharing
Last Updated: Monday, June 30, 2008 | 11:59 AM ET Comments17Recommend11
CBC News
Internet providers who selectively slow certain kinds of traffic on their networks, such as file-sharing, could soon have a new tool at their disposal to prevent savvy users from evading the speed controls.
Research by Italian engineers shows how providers like Bell and Rogers can use statistical methods to curb internet traffic even when the content is encrypted.
Bell, Rogers and some other Canadian internet service providers, or ISPs, currently limit the speeds of certain peer-to-peer file-sharing programs like Limewire and BitTorrent during peak internet hours. The companies say the practice, called "throttling," is necessary to keep their networks from congesting.
