Application Layer End-to-End Arguments: From Ends to Means, and Beyond Network Neutrality

This Thursday there was a plenary session at this year's IETF meeting in Stockholm, Sweden on what net neutrality means for the IETF and the IAB. There was a generic summary of what network neutrality is about, but also a very interesting talk by Mark Handley and a couple of interesting responses from the audience. The audio of the whole session is up here.

Anyway, I was thus reminded of an unpublished paper of mine that has been sitting on my hard drive more or less idly for the last eight months. A version that I submitted to a conference at HU Berlin was rejected, because they had no clue what I was on about, and also lamented that it's a bit longish. A version with a couple of corrections from this May titled "Application Layer End-to-End Arguments: From Ends to Means, and Beyond Network Neutrality" is now up at bepress.com. Still not properly published, but available online, at least. And apparently on about very relevant points.
