Detecting ISPs that violate network neutrality

By Noah | August 21, 2011

Dan Kaminsky has a really interesting talk at Chaos Communication Camp 2011 showing how to quite reliably detect ISPs that artificially delay traffic to particular sites (video of Dan’s talk).

Note that the first 2/3 of the talk is a very interesting exploration of the security characteristics of Bitcoin, also showing how the Bitcoin database can be used as a peristent shared store. The latter third of the talk introduces Dan’s tools for detecting artificial delays introduced by ISPs.
