Anyone heard of an ISP not just throttling torrent traffic, but nuking an entire network due to torrents being detected?
Officially ? Never
Have ISP being suspected of filtering and limiting ? All the time.
Of course they do.
Because we all would do the same thing when we detect that the little brother was gobbing the entire home network as he was coping the entire pirate bay content on his laptop.
So, most of us just pulled his plug, or put him behind a limiter.
The ISP is/does the same thing, just one set higher.
I'm not saying it's ok or even justified, but maybe torrent traffic makes them nervous.
Pulled the monitoring data for PPS, figured it would be easiest to just show it, the first is my PPS graph and the second is my packet loss and latency graphs for the same time period, so they do line up (not that that's surprising).
Maybe this many pps was overwhelming the ISP?
