+-   Beating Comcast's Sandvine on Linux with iptables -> on Sunday June 29 2008, @09:30PM HiroDeckard

HiroDeckard writes "Multiple sites reported a while ago that Comcast was using Sandvine to do tcp packet resets to throttle bit torrent connections of their users. This practice may be a thing of the past as it's been found a simple rule in the linux firewall, iptables, can simply just block their reset packets, returning your bit torrent back to normal speeds and allowing you to once again connect to all your seeds and peer. If blocking the tcp packet resets becomes a common practice, on and off of Linux, it'll be interesting to see the next move in the cat and mouse game between customers and service providers, and who controls that bandwidth."
