Abstract

This chapter is devoted to the network neutrality debate which can shape the future Internet. First, the net neutrality issue is shown from the network perspective. Then, various definitions of the network neutrality, the history of the concept, and the spectrum of its violations are reviewed. The net neutrality debate is shown from various perspectives, e.g., from network operators, content providers, and governments. Then the solution to the problem given by FAN is described and the possible future developments are mentioned.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Although network neutrality is usually referred to as net neutrality , for short, both terms convey exactly the same meaning. Throughout this book both terms will be used interchangeably.
