“…As can be seen, Vodafone seems to apply throttling to BT, which always obtains very poor performance (a maximum of ∼0. 3 Mbps average throughput on both port 6881 and random high port). The absence of variance seems to indicate that the obtained performance is the result of traffic shaping.…”

“…The most common measurement approach is based on comparing the performance obtained by different classes of traffic. Considered metrics are usually throughput, loss, and latency . The most relevant tools for assessing net neutrality are Glasnost and Neubot, which both rely on a crowdsourced approach based on exploiting volunteers to collect a large number of measurements .…”

In Europe, net neutrality is guaranteed by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications guidelines, which state that the user's traffic should never be differentiated. However, ensuring that these rules are actually followed is not easy, due to the scale of the problem (the number of operators/providers is large) and to the inherent variability of network conditions. In this paper, we analyze a number of European mobile broadband operators in terms of neutrality. The study is based on measurements collected using the NeutMon tool in Measuring Mobile Broadband Networks in Europe, a large‐scale testbed spanning four European countries. By following an infrastructural approach, important benefits can be obtained with respect to methods based on volunteer‐contributed data: testbed nodes are always available, users' resources are not depleted, and the increased uniformity of devices reduces possible sources of bias. Results show that, despite EU regulations, some operators are not neutral, thus, highlighting the need for a monitoring system.

“…O princípio da Neutralidade da Rede (NR) preconiza que todo tráfego deve ser tratado igualmente, independente da origem, destino e/ou conteúdo, ou seja, diferenciação de tráfego (DT) nãoé permitida [Garrett et al 2018]. Regulações acerca da NR já foram implementadas em diversos países, inclusive o Brasil.…”

A neutralidade da rede preconiza uma rede sem discriminação de tráfego, independente de origem, destino e ou conteúdo. Apesar de existirem diversas soluções para a detecção de diferenciação de tráfego (DT), há uma lacuna em termos da localização efetiva do ponto da rede onde a DT ocorre. Neste trabalho, propomos uma solução para a detecção e localização de DT, que tira proveito das propriedades do roteamento na Internet entre Sistemas Autônomos. A estratégia explora diferenças e semelhanças dos caminhos entre os pontos de medição. As premissas acerca do roteamento na Internet foram verificadas através de experimentos executados no PlanetLab. A acurácia e eficiência da proposta foi avaliada por meio de simulação.

“…On the other hand, a large number of NN violation cases have been reported worldwide. 2 ISPs have employed TD to deal with congestion, or because of commercial agreements, or even to benefit their own services. The motivations for an ISP to slow down the traffic of specific applications/sources include postponing the need for upgrading the infrastructure, prioritizing the traffic from providers that are willing to pay for it (the so-called fast lanes), and prioritizing its own services or degrading competitors services to attract more users, thereby increasing revenue.…”

The debate around network neutrality (NN) has become more intense and controversial. It is undeniable that NN fosters innovation in the Internet, ensuring fair competition and freedom of choice. The papers in this special issue explore multiple facets of the problem, including the economical factors behind NN, dealing with multiple NN jurisdictions across international Internet paths and designing in-network caching strategies that are neutral.
