JFC on a raft... Will somebody think up something NEW? Radius was originally implemented to charge for links. Old unix systems have a link cost built into the netstat and ifconfig function. Calling a long distance # on a land line is more expensive than handing it off to a computer on the border.

And guess what.... At high speeds... doing throttling costs more than it saves, because of retries.

Perhaps thats part of their agenda. Throttle the network, cause congestion and rake in the dough.

Whats ironic is there is tons of fiber in the ground not being used.
