Network Neutrality Around The World : A Basic Overview

Posted on July 26, 2018November 12, 2019 by Prateek Surisetti

Network Neutrality () refers to a network wherein participants are effectively blind to the nature of data flowing through the network. Another way of defining NN is a network wherein participants are restricted from differential treatment of data flow. Please understand that the definitions provided above are, in cliché speak, two sides of the same coin. Even if a participant can distinguish the nature of data flowing through a network, the participant is considered to be effectively blind, if said participant doesn’t interfere with the data flow. I have discussed the basic concepts and issues surrounding NN here.

Net Neutrality 101

Posted on February 27, 2018November 12, 2019 by Prateek Surisetti

Ed. Note: This post by Prateek Surisetti is a part of the TLF Editorial Board Test 2018

Put very simply, a neutral network is one in which both the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and other actors are effectively blind to the content that is being put on the internet. The debate surrounding network neutrality has arisen only recently because earlier, ISPs could not identify the nature of data that was moving through its networks. Now, with the advancement of technology in the form of “Deep Packet Inspection”, ISPs can, at least as far as technology is concerned, differentiate between the various kinds of data on their networks. Also, they will be able to understand the amount of data that is being transferred from a particular server or source. In other words, an ISP can determine exactly the extent of data its users are accessing from a content provider (CP), such as Netflix or YouTube.
