Kushan the new system wont only affect certian protocols and as such wont be evadable other than to simply stop downloading so you dont let it trigger. That is the major flaw with the P2P system.

The flaw with the STM system is its far too generous on the upload limits allowing a lot of uploading to be done before it kicks in. Ironically its probably too tight on the download limits.

Whatever system is in place tho will have to not fall foul of new ASA regulations which state any throttling must be moderate only on unlimited products.

Another flaw of course is I feel VM will be expecting too much from traffic management, its ideal use is to handle short temporary spikes in traffic load, whilst VM seem to want to use it to manage sustained high utilisation.

I expect VM to make silly mistakes like making the new system downloads only and peak only.
