Traffic shaping provides a mechanism to control the volume of traffic being sent into a network (bandwidth throttling), and the rate at which the traffic is being sent (rate limiting). For this reason, traffic shaping schemes are commonly implemented at the network edges to control traffic entering the network. This control can be accomplished in many ways and for many reasons but traffic shaping always simply consists in delaying packets. Traffic policing is the related practice of packet dropping and packet marking. Traffic shaping can be applied by the traffic source (for example, computer or network card) or by an element in the network.

Major Internet Service Providers Using Traffic Shaping
* Cable & Wireless Panama
* Rogers Cable
* Bell Sympatico
* Clearwire
* Comcast Cable
* Shaw Cable
* Cogeco Cable
* Insight Communications
* Road Runner (Time Warner Cable)
* Pipex
* TM Net
* PlusNet
* Eclipse Internet
* BT Openworld
* Virgin Media
* Clearwire
* TalkTalk
* Telenet (Belgium)
* AOL UK
* CATVP
* UPC Romania
* TMNET (Malaysia)

Encrypting your torrents will prevent throttling ISP’s from shaping your traffic. Explanations on how to enable encryption in Azureus, Bitcomet and uTorrent, the three most popular torrent clients will be given.

For Azureus

1. Go to: Tools > Options > Connection > 

2. Check the ‘require encrypted transport’ box.

3. Choose RC4 in the ‘minimum encryption’ dropdown box

note that RC4 uses more CPU time than the plain encryption or no encryption. It is however harder to identify for traffic shaping devices
4. You can choose to tick the ‘Allow non-encrypted outgoing connections if encrypted connection attempt fails’ box. This will ensure compatibility with clients that are not using encryption. However, it makes it easier for your ISP to detect BitTorrent traffic. I recommend that you try to tick this box first. If you are still not getting proper speeds untick it

5. Tick the ‘Allow non-encrypted incoming connections’ box

For Bitcomet

1. Go to: Options > Preferences > Advanced > Connection

2. Go to: ‘Protocol encryption’ You can choose between ‘auto detect’ and ‘always’. Auto detect will give you more connections but offers less protection against traffic shapers.

I would recommend to try auto detect first, if that doesn’t increase your speeds you need to switch to Always.

For  Utorrent

1. Go to: Options > Preferences > BitTorrent

2. Go to ‘Protocol encryption’, you can choose between ‘enabled’ and ‘forced’. ‘Enabled’ will give you more connections but offers less protection against traffic shapers.

I would recommend to try ‘enabled’ first, if that doesn’t increase your speeds you need to swich to ‘forced’.

3. Ticking ‘Allow legacy incoming connections’ allows non ecrypted clients to connect to you. This improves compatibility between clients but makes you more vulnerable to traffic shapers.

Recommend to tick this box, but if that doesn’t increase your speeds, untick it!

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds small new potatoes (scrubbed)
3 cloves garlic (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons olive oil or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon crumbled rosemary (optional)

Nutritional Information
1 serving:
Calories 219
Saturated Fat 1g
Total Fat 8g
Sodium 16mg
Cholesterol 0mg
Protein 3g
Carbohydrate 35g
Fiber 6g

As most of their nutrients are directly beneath the skin, don’t peel new potatoes. Just scrub and cook.

Makes 8 servings.

Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine the potatoes with the garlic, oil, and rosemary, if using.

Step 2:
Transfer to a roasting pan and roast about 45 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Tips:
Look for smooth-skinned solid potatoes. Avoid potatoes that are blemished or sprouting and those with a green color, which will taste bitter.
