Repost in plain text... just a little too clicky on the send button
folks.

I'm interested in an informal poll of consumer ISP's regarding
application rate-limiting.  For all you folks out there managing
"broadband" networks to residential end-users:

Are you controlling peer-to-peer traffic in some way (i.e.
rate-limiting, blocking, etc)?

Do you have plans to control peer-to-peer traffic?

If you don't mind, can you generally describe how you have implemented
any limits and how effective those solutions are?

Are you imposing other total traffic download/upload limits?

Are your limits imposed via "policy" (nag your abusers) or via "network"
(they get blocked automatically)?

Thanks!
