Net Neutrality Test

August 2nd, 2006 · No Comments

A Seattle-based security researcher has devised a way to test for ‘Net neutrality.

Dan
Kaminsky will share details of this technique, which will eventually be
rolled into a free software tool, on Wednesday at the Black Hat USA
security conference in Las Vegas. The software can tell if computers
are treating some types of TCP/IP traffic better than others - dropping
data that is being used in VoIP calls, or treating encrypted data as
second class, for example.
