Excerpt
Excerpt "ISPs that have admitted to blocking BitTorrent flows claim that they do so only during the hours of peak load, when their networks are congested. The data we collected with BTTest enables us to check whether blocking occurs continuously throughout the day or is limited to just a few hours of the day. For each hour of the day, we calculated the percentage of result sets that contained evidence of blocking. For each result set, we inferred the location of the tester and then computed the local time when the test had been performed. (FN #3 - We used an IP-to-geolocation tool to infer the timezone of each tester.) We then grouped together measurements from the same hour." |
