Impact of the Net Neutrality Repeal on Communication Networks: Abstract & Introduction
Too Long; Didn't Read
Net neutrality is the principle of treating equally all Internet traffic regardless of its source, destination, content, application or other related metrics. Net neutrality, which was scrapped by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in December 2017, has been the subject of remarkable debate in recent years between ISPs and CPs. In this paper, we study the impact of the repeal of net neutrality on communication networks by developing a techno-economic Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model. We focus on video delivery as video traffic accounts for 78% of the cloud traffic.
