Appendix I & II are frighting in their casual use of major headings. Looks an awful lot like the fabled "tier-ed internet".

Heck, one of the diagrams even categorizes IP traffic in 4 levels: Gold, Silver, Bronze, P2P. I'm not an owner of tinfoil hats, but this has a lot of implications to a distributed web.

Appendix Examples: I.2.1 Differentiated services based on service identification

I.2.2 Traffic monitoring

I.2.4 Traffic statistics and services-based billing

I.3.1 DPI used as a bidirectional tool for service control

I.5 DPI use case: Traffic control

I.5.3 DPI-based policing of peer-to-peer traffic

I.9.2 DPI engine use case: Simple fixed string matching for BitTorrent

II.4.11 Example “Identify uploading BitTorrent users”

II.4.13 Example “Blocking Peer-to-Peer VoIP telephony with proprietary end-to-end application control protocols”
