Procera CEO: "we are back to where we were before the Comcast ruling"

   

Converge! Network Digest published an article by James Brear, CEO of Procera Networks, in which he analyzes the current status of DPI. It follows the recent FCC  intention to reclassify broadband as the third way  for Net Neutrality.

Mr. Brear conclusions are that traffic management practices could continue, if deployed with the consideration of the following aspects:

• ISPs know that they MUST be transparent in what they do on their networks
   
• There is general agreement that applications should not be discriminated against during normal operations
   
• Reasonable network management is OK.
   
• The door is open to ISPs that want to be creative and find ways to have service plans that innovate new services and deliver LOWER cost options for subscribers that use the network less and higher cost for the users that consume more resources.

The bottom line - "So what is the impact of Net Neutrality for DPI? Neutral to positive .. Carriers should focus on creating better customer experiences and evolving their networks to keep up with the innovations of technology".
