    Study Notes

    Net Neutrality

    • Net Neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers (ISPs) must treat all Internet communications equally, without discrimination or charging differently based on user, content, website, platform, application, type of equipment, source address, destination address, or method of communication.
    • Net Neutrality ensures that all Internet traffic is treated equally, without unreasonable discrimination by network operators in transmitting Internet traffic.
    • The European Union defines Net Neutrality as the ability of all Internet end-users to access and distribute information or run applications and services of their choice.

    Pros and Cons of Net Neutrality

    • Net Neutrality can prevent telecommunication companies from imposing a tiered service model to control the pipeline, removing competition, creating artificial scarcity, and obliging subscribers to buy their otherwise uncompetitive services.
    • Opponents of Net Neutrality regulation argue that the best solution to discrimination by broadband providers is to encourage greater competition among such providers, which is currently limited in many areas.

    Traffic Management and Degradation of Internet Service

    • Traffic management mechanisms are used by ISPs to optimize the flow of traffic within their networks.
    • Traffic management can be used to implement both limiting measures (such as blocking and throttling) and enabling measures (such as routing and traffic forwarding).
    • Congestion occurs when traffic increases to a level at which routers run out of buffer space and are forced to start dropping some IP packets, which typically occurs randomly.
    • Degradation of Internet access service can occur as a whole or with regard to individual applications, which may result in congestion and require traffic management and/or network security and integrity protection.

    Role of the National Regulatory Authority (NRA)

    • The NRA should intervene and ensure Quality of Service (QoS) when there is no good availability of Internet access service offers with satisfactory quality at a reasonable price, and the possibility and ease of switching is sufficient.

    Google Caching Services

    • Google Cache contains a snapshot of the raw HTML that Googlebot received from a server.
    • Google Cache allows users to browse a page when the page is down or in the event of a temporary timeout.
    • CacheService allows accessing a cache for short-term storage of data.
    • Public caches are for things that are not dependent on which user is accessing a script.
    • Google keeps webpages in their cache for about 90 days, or until the page is crawled again.

    BSNL Caching Plan

    • BSNL has a caching plan for 2020-2022, which aims to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) of Internet access services.
