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.
- It broadly refers to the principle that all Internet traffic should be treated equally.
- Opponents of net neutrality regulation argue that the best solution to discrimination by broadband providers is to encourage greater competition among such providers.
- 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, without unreasonable discrimination on the part of network operators.
Types of Degradation of Internet Service
- Degradation of Internet access service (IAS) as a whole, where monitoring the service quality is essential.
- Degradation of Internet access service with regard to individual applications, which may result in congestion and require traffic management and/or network security and integrity protection.
Role of the NRA (National Regulatory Authority)
- The NRA should intervene and ensure the QoS (Quality of Service) if there is not good availability of Internet access service offers with satisfactory quality at a reasonable price, and the possibility and ease of switching is insufficient.
Google Caching Services
- Google Cache contains a snapshot of the raw HTML that Googlebot received from a server.
- The idea behind Google storing cached pages is to let users browse a page when the page is down or in the event of a temporary timeout.
