DPI or Flow Management

[Francois Menard <francois () menards ca>]

The Coalition of Internet Service Providers has filed a substantial  
contribution at the CRTC stating:

1) The CRTC should forbid DPI, as it cannot be proven to be 98.5%  
effective at trapping P2P, such as to guarantee congestion relief

2) The CRTC should allow for other forms of traffic management by  
ISPs, such as Flow Management

This is part of the public record at the following address:

The world will see Canada taking head-on the issue of addressing the  
legitimacy of DEEP PACKET INSPECTION as a mean of properly managing an  
incumbent's network behind the unbundling/peering interface.

NANOG cannot pretend that this debate does not take place and remain  
silent on this.

Best regards,
