Talk:Bandwidth throttling

message: The net neutrality section is simply propaganda, painting it in a positive light before even explaining what it is.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.141.154.51 (talk) 21:41, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is written by someone who does not know what bandwidth throttling is. The term is miss used as a synonym for bandwidth limiting in torrent programs but that does not change what it is. Throttling is an active changine of bandidth availability based on conditions, not a capping of bandwidth at some limit. That is bandwidth limiting. Cisco Systems Defines it well in their documentation. It is a complex technical term with no synonyms and many complex applications.
As usual the Wikidumbing of society continues with ignorant unlearned people of low vocabulary reducing critical technical terms to simplistic bull sh1t and crying that the false misleading overly simplistic article explain too much.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.91.11.214 (talk) 15:38, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have rewritten some parts of the article to avoid the mixture of bandwidth throttling and rate limiting concepts;  now bandwidth throttling applies to limiting the transmission speed of server responses / downloads (and maybe also the received data speed for uploads of files to server) at application level and to limiting the re-transmission speed of network devices. Now article may not be as it should be yet but it certainly is a bit better. Ade56facc 13:12, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: Simply lies

message: I fail to see how this is objective, in the argument of QoS, there is a failure to mention the counterarguement of ISP's using QoS as a excuse to lower speeds so they don't have to upgrade their networks. Noian (talk) 23:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I have volunteered to mentor students contributing to this article - see this page. I suggest that queries specific to this article be placed here. If I have not replied within 12 hours, put a  tag on my user_talk page. General queries about Wikipedia editing should also be made on that page. Specific suggestions:
* Before you do anything here, pop over to server administrator and tidy that up. Anyone reading no further than the first sentence might thing that server administrators only work on gaming servers.
* In this article the description needs to be clearer on where throttling is applied - at the web server, at the final ISP or en route? If possible quote figures for how much throttling is done at each stage.
* Spell out more clearly the difference between bandwidth throttling and bandwidth capping.
* Fix that ugly naked URI!
* Globalise and improve the external links. References to throttling outside the US are needed.

message: This page is for discussion. We do not clutter it with the actual text. I assume that the latest version is in User:Fishern6/sandbox. First thoughts: naked URIs are obscene. Please use the  template. You are self-contradictory: you state "bandwidth throttling regulates a bandwidth intensive device (such as a server)" - that I agree with - but earlier you state "bandwidth throttling for users is done through the user's modem" - that I simply do not believe. My modem is in my house, I do not believe that my ISP has any control over its throughput capacity. — RHaworth  17:00, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

message: This section is biased. It only talks about the bad things that would happen if it went away. I say a complete rewrite, or even a deletion, is necessary. Cbrittain10 (talk) 19:38, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Courtesy of Cannshan for doing that. I'll be removing that piece of blatantly biased info, which is also off the topic of bandwidth throttling.--24.128.79.230 (talk) 08:40, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
