Re: business traffic via internet from/to iSeries

I think your level of service is going to be more based on what you pay for, or possibly a bidding war with your competition. In an unregulated market, Amazon.com could pay large isp's to inhibit or slow down Barnes & Noble. That may sound far fetched, but we are talking about the same companies that already are blocking certain traffic in other countries in order to gain access & market share, and have engaged in blocking certain legitimate traffic (not spam) here in North America. This has less to do with protocols and more to do with who's paying what fees. Picture California's energy market experiment only it's the internet traffic we all use for business.

I'm not following this debate, so I may be off my rocker (shut up Joe.
<G>) but I would expect that this would also allow the carriers to honor
Quality-of-service indicators and throttle non-latency-effected
protocols (like SMTP, FTP and HTTP) in favor of protocols that need low
latency like VoIP and video conferencing. So it may not be a bad thing.
