Administrator Lite Posted August 5, 2008 Administrator Share Posted August 5, 2008 The Electronic Frontier Foundation has introduced a new tool that allows users to find out if their ISPs are throttling their P2P files.The new "Switzerland Tool" will reveal if a user's network connection has any restrictions on it from ISPs."It's up to concerned Internet users to investigate possible network neutrality violations, and EFF's Switzerland software is designed to help with that effort," said Fred von Lohmann, EFF Senior Intellectual Property Attorney."Comcast isn't the first, and certainly won't be the last, ISP to meddle surreptitiously with its subscribers' Internet communications for its own benefit."Switzerland is an open source, command-line software tool designed to detect the modification or injection of packets o f data by ISPs. The tool detects changes made by software tools believed to be used by ISPs such as Sandvine and AudibleMagic, advertising systems like FairEagle, and a number of censorship systems.
