Please log in for more thread options First of all, how an ISP can limit the client's connection usage. Does he use a proxy or there is another type of infrastructure? On the other hand, there is a way that the user can bypass this limitation?\ Thanks | |||||||||||||

It could be a box that sits inline and does deep packet inspection (DPI) on the traffic that's passing through, applying a set of rules (business logic) to that traffic. Those rules can be quite complex, ranging from applying QoS logic, port based logic, port-agnostic protocol logic, time of day logic, and on and on. Where I work, we're doing a lab trial of an Ellacoya product right now, but there are plenty of other vendors also in this space. >On the other hand, there is a way that the user can bypass this
>limitation?\ Not if they've implemented it properly. Experiment and see if moving your traffic to another port helps, assuming you're able to do that. Opening multiple connections to the same host can help in some situations, such as if they've limited the throughput per connection. As always, keep an eye on your ISP's TOS/AUP in case trying to circumvent their policies can get you tossed. -- Bill | |||||||||||||
