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. |
