BITAG Announces Review Focused on Prioritization and Differentiated Treatment of Internet Traffic

The Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group (BITAG) is pleased to announce a technical review focused on the topic of prioritization and differentiated treatment of Internet traffic.

To help inform the policy debate surrounding the technical aspects of prioritization and differentiation, BITAG's technical working group will issue a report that describes the various methods and techniques used by network operators to differentiate Internet data traffic -- as well as the impact these methods may have on different types of applications. The group will also explore the distinction between prioritized and differential treatment of traffic. Finally, the report will describe appropriate best practices as identified by the group.
