What are the specifics in regard to peering? It seemed like with Netflix there was some confusion and FUD and it was hard to know the exact facts.
Normally as a business you are required to purchase bandwidth from bandwidth providers. I would assume this would still stand.
What counts as throttling? If an ISP has multiple peering connections with backbone providers are they forced to upgrade their hardware to compensate for all the traffic coming from their peer? If so, what counts as sufficient quality?
If they upgrade some peering connections and not others is that breaking Net Neutrality?
My understanding, not sure if it is correct, was that Netflix had traffic on an Internet backbone and Comcast was selectively throttling traffic within the peering connection based on whether it was Netflix traffic. I can see how that is discriminatory and wrong.
Anyone have more details about how all this works specifically?
