Prevent ISP Hacking

[vikspl]

The AP found out that the Comcast ISP is injecting fake RST packets into P2P connections. This is thus dramatically reducing Bit Torrent speeds. You can read the full details on Wired, http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/11/comcast-using-m.html.

"The investigators say that their tests confirmed an earlier one conducted by the Associated Press that showed that Comcast is interfering with BitTorrent traffic...The authors say that Comcast is forging Internet traffic and injecting it into its customers' file-sharing applications' stream of traffic to choke their transmissions."

It would sure be great if you guys could some how ignore these invalid RST packets to essentially undo the Comcast hacking.

Thanks

It's also been posted that ignoring the packets won't really WORK (it has to be done on both sides).
