Network neutrality and competition between networks: A brief sketch of the issues
2008
Overview
Users of the Internet benefit from a stream of continuously emerging innovations in applications and services. These innovations give rise to a need for faster and more precise data transmission, which requires investments and innovations by network operators. Certain innovations, such as Quality of Service (QoS) and the labeling of individual data packets (packet shaping), help operators to raise the priority of a certain data flow or limit the priority of another flow. Such technologies may support the provision of applications that are time-sensitive (e.g. voice), or that require high bandwidth (e.g. video) or a higher level of security (e.g. e-commerce). The Internet as people currently know it is based on a simple network architecture, which allows any computer to send packets to any other computer, while packets are not inspected by the networks. As a result, all packets are treated in the same way, and in case of congestion, packets are treated on a first-in/first-out basis (best effort routing practice).
