High PPS with small packet size and inefficient wireless frame use. Although frame aggregation resolves this for the most part. Or if you are running a high over-subscription ratio and can't handle the continuous traffic it generates. We were troubled by it at one point but those days are long gone.
Nothing has really changed on that front, wireless providers were always allowed "legitimate means" to implement QoS. How that was interpreted is beyond me. And it won't be simple to target torrent traffic in particular with the modern techniques that mask torrent traffic as standard web traffic. Not to mention that legitimate systems now use torrent traffic to deliver updates. That's a real can of worms to open up now. In my opinion it's not our concern what customers do with their bandwidth until someone with a badge or a gavel says otherwise. We give our customers the internet, the whole internet, and nothing but the internet.

It wasn't mayhem in the decades before 2015 and it won't suddenly become a problem now. The big guys are always going to try some crap until someone calls them on it, "net neutrality" or not. _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org<mailto:Wireless@wispa.org> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org<mailto:Wireless@wispa.org> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org<mailto:Wireless@wispa.org> http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless -- Adair Winter VP, Network Operations / Co-Owner Amarillo Wireless | 806.316.5071 C: 806.231.7180 http://www.amarillowireless.net<http://www.amarillowireless.net/> [https://docs.google.com/a/amarillowireless.net/uc?id=0B-KeaiwIRBHEQl9leFFvVjZuWmc&export=download]<http://www.amarillowireless.net>
