According to T-Mobile, thestreaming partnersaren’t paying anything to T-Mo and T-Mo isn’t paying them. It’s kindof like zero-ratingin that the customers don’t pay bandwidth charges, but it’s differentin that the serviceprovider isn’t being asked to subsidize the network provider (usualimplementation ofzero-rating).equal exchange of value doesn't have to be dollars/pesos/euros changing hands right? -chrisSure, but I really don’t think there’s an exchange per se in this case, given that T-Mo is (at least apparently) willing to accommodate any streaming provider that wants to participate so long as they are willing to conform to a fairly basic set of technical criteria.No. This is T-Mo saying they are neutral but not actually being so. This is like writing a job add for one particular person. Its just as easy to identify a UDP stream as it is a TCP stream. You can ratelimit a UDP stream as easily as a TCP stream. You can have congestion control over UDP as well as over TCP. Just because the base transport doesn't give you some of these and you have to implement them higher up the stack is no reason to throw out a transport.Are there a significant number (ANY?) streaming video providers using UDP to deliver their streams? I admit I’m mostly ignorant here, but at least the ones I’m familiar with all use TCP.
Interesting discussion. Minor point answering Owen's question: YouTube is a major streaming video provider that uses UDP: http://blog.chromium.org/2015/04/a-quic-update-on-googles-experimental.html https://www.ietf.org/proceedings/94/slides/slides-94-tcpm-8.pdf (see slide 4)
