[QUOTE="Brahman, post: 988533, member: 11847"] Information being the gold currency and the depravation of it is considered inhumane, we have seen a tremendous growth in the field of networked devices, and it brought its own problems with it. In the last few years, there has been extensive debate and discussion around network neutrality. The fact that the issue of net neutrality has managed to attract wide public attention is an encouraging sign for a free and open Internet. Traditionally, the network did not distinguish between those who provided content and those who were recipients of this service, in fact often, the users also functioned as content providers. The architectural design of the Internet mandated that all content be broken down into data packets which were transmitted through nodes in the network transparently from the source machine to the destination machine. Internet's architectural design, which mandates that network features are implemented as the end points only (destination and source machine), i.e. at the application level, is called the 'end to end principle'. This means that the intermediate nodes do not differentiate between the data packets in any way based on source, application or any other feature and are only concerned with transmitting data as fast as possible, thus creating what has been described as a 'dumb' or neutral network. While the above model speaks of a dumb network not differentiating between the data packets that travel through it, in truth, the network operators engage in various kinds of practices that priorities, throttle or discount certain kinds of data packets. Deep packet inspection (DPI) enables the examination of the content of a data packet being sent over the Internet. For instance, if the activity in question is accessing a webpage, the web-browser makes a request to access a page which is then passed on to the lower layers. The next layer is the Presentation Layer which deals with the format in which the data is presented. This lateral performs encryption and compression of the data. In the above example, this would involve asking for the HTML file. Next comes the Session Layer which initiates, manages and ends communication between the sender and receiver. In the above example, this would involve transmitting and regulating the data of the webpage including its text, images, or any other media. These three layers are part of the 'payload' of the data packet. The next four layers are part of the 'header' of the data packet. It begins with the Transport Layer which collects data from the Payload and creates a connection between the point of origin and the point of receipt and assembles the packets in the correct order. In terms of accessing a webpage, this involves connecting the requesting computer system with the server hosting the data and ensuring the data packets are put together in an arrangement which is cohesive when they are received. The next layer is the Data Link Layer. This layer formats the data packets in such a way that that they are compatible with the medium being used for their transmission. The final layer is the Physical Layer which determines the actual media used for transmitting the packets. Generally, there are three broad categories of packet inspection - shallow, medium, and deep.
