[TriLUG] Is TWC throttling CDN traffic (youtube/amazonprime/netflix) ?

[Bill Farrow]

There has been some chatter lately about the possibility of TWC
throttling CDN traffic for youtube, amazon prime, netflix, etc. One
such post:

On my system I am trying these firewall rules (probably overkill)
  sudo iptables -A INPUT -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT
  sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -d 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT

Remove them again:
  sudo iptables -D INPUT -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT
  sudo iptables -D OUTPUT -d 206.111.0.0/16 -j REJECT

If you want to try this, please let us know if you have good or bad results...
