Google Caught in Comcast Traffic Filtering?

marcan writes "Comcast users are reporting 'connection reset' errors while loading Google. The problem seems to have been coming and going over the past few days, and often disappears only to return a few minutes later. Apparently the problem only affects some of Google's IPs and services. Analysis of the PCAP packet dumps reveals several injected fake RSTs, which are very similar to the ones seen coming from the Great Firewall of China [PDF]. Did Google somehow get caught up in one of Comcast's blacklists, or are the heuristics flagging Google as a file-sharer due to the heavy traffic?"

I guess the rest of slashdot does not care about dates. It just shows the mobs bias against whoever is near the top of the hate list. The post does not have to be correct and slashdot would hate them if it goes against Linux, privacy, or open source. I could post Sun Micro systems kills kittens to help produce a better version of Java and /. would hate Sun.
