Re: [News] Insight Using Sandvine To Control P2P T

Meeble join:2002-09-19 Champaign, IL	reply to drewrw Re: [News] Insight Using Sandvine To Control P2P T said by drewrw : You dont understand. Why should we support a p2p program? Please tell me.... You use those programs at your own risk. from my numerous call to insight you would be better off instead of spending time postin here to bone up on some networking courses an maybe take some certification training. I've had to explain basic networking principles to tier 2 support on several instances when I was having problems and being told the problems were my machine. ::cough:: major article posted on every tech news site days later ::cough:: nbr 2 -- noone is asking you to troubleshoot or support anything software side. There is a difference between packet shaping, port scanning/blocking and supporting software. Again please refer to my first point. but seriously Blizzard is using p2p ports to distribute patches and downloads for '2004's game of the year'* ... I've been gettin Linux distro's and other legal iso's off torrents for almost 2 years now. It boils down to people making decisions abou technology they don't understand and taking the word of people trying to sell them things. Until the people making these decisions (including up to the lvl of Congress 'people') this will be an issue with groups who hav large financial backings trying to influence law and policy of both corporations and the Government.

I dont think anyone here is asking insight to provide support for a p2p program but we are asking that you maintain a unfiltered, non blocked, non throttled pipe...Is that too much to ask??...drewrw I dont think you get the issue...what is your position at insight?? If you arent a engineer of some kind then you might not understand what we are refering to. BTW: My P2P issues were resolved and disappeared as fast as they came and the ability to do some "network control" and or Sandvine was somewhat confirmed by an Insight NOC

IGGY No Guru Just Here To Help Premium,MVM join:2001-03-30 Chatham, IL	reply to drewrw No one said that should offer support for anything. But you shouldn't be blocking any program that can have a legitimate usage. BitTorrent in fact has many legit uses for end users. Many game companies are using the technology in different ways. Some Linux distros are now being released this way. Those are just 2 examples. It's interesting how you've totally decided not to address the topic of the thread. You've stated an opinion - which I have no problem with you doing. But I don't see you confirming or denying the use of a filtering application. Which was the main topic here. I should point out I missed the "o" in Xbox above - lol. -- Test Your Security Cable Diagnostics Iggyz Blog ZoneAlarm Help

qos1 join:2003-09-19 Beverly Hills, CA 1 edit	reply to shwooz I think I may be the next victim of this POS...WinMX ...Bittorrent limited to 5K (Ive tested different BT ports/trackers/torrents)...called insight "wreck" support and they wouldnt escalate or even start a ticket for me on this issue but the NOC somewhat confirmed they have these "capabilities" and that they would use it to "protect" (gimme a F@cking break) the network...Im going to keep tshooting this and hopefully this isnt an insight problem but this is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth...
