An Education In Deep Packet Inspection

Posted by kdawson on from the opening-all-the-envelopes dept.

Deep Packet Inspection, or DPI, is at the heart of the debate over Network Neutrality — this relatively new technology threatens to upset the balance of power among consumers, ISPs, and information suppliers. An anonymous reader notes that the Canadian Privacy Commissioner has published a Web site, for Canadians and others, to educate about DPI technology. Online are a number of essays from different interested parties, ranging from DPI company officers to Internet law specialists to security professionals. The articles are open for comments. Here is the CBC's report on the launch.

    Can they ever get their facts straight?

    What are you talking about? Everyone knows it's the terrorists. It's always been the terrorists. We will fight them with our allies: Canada, China and Russia.
