DPI Deployments - Part7: Canadian ISPs

   

Colin Bennett and Christopher Parsons started a new web site, Deep Packet Insepction (Canada), with the goal of creating awareness in the Canadian public to how and where DPI is used, mainly by the privacy aspects.

One of the sections lists the current status of DPI usage among Canadian ISPs (here). I summarized the DPI deployment status for each covered ISP in the table below - you may click the ISP name to get more details.
