Kinda, protocol analysis from contents of packets, however contents of packets going through these systems are not stored apart from transient storage required to process them.

No major ISP has the will or resources to attempt to store packets flowing from users without a court order demanding monitoring of a particular subscriber.

Cheers, kronas.Thanks for that.

Then i suggest you disconnect from the internet now. Many systems use packet inspection.

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

no problem :)

by all means you can ask them, but the replacement of set top boxes only happens if you want a speed upgrade above 1mbit, or if you have a fault with your box, im sure you can look in to that ;)

I am pleased NTL responded to BT's anouncement but what are they going to be doing in th eautumn when 8mb downloads are available everywhere? What isp's are bit torrent friendly and don't throttle the ports?

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

hmm... check the dates on the ntl and bt announcements ;)

I have no problem getting 185k from bit torrent on an ntl 1.5meg connection

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

LOL - 8mb will not be available "everywhere".

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

Will the upgrades be automatic or will we have to order it???

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

I know of several ways to encapsulate packets so I'm not really bothered what ntl throttle. :P

Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please
 

Me too, the only downside is that in a P2P system the other clients need to know what you are trying to say, and that's where the vulnerability comes in, the only way to have a secure encapsulation is if you have control over both sides of the tunnel, so unless you are file sharing with yourself you're a bit buggered :)
