In May 2007, Comcast began engaging in protocol-specific interference with the activities of its subscribers. When confronted by users and by EFF, <A href="http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/09/comcast-and-bittorrent">Comcast responded</A> with denials and answers that told less than the whole story. In October 2007, however, after <A href="http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/10/eff-tests-agree-ap-comcast-forging-packets-to-interfere">independent testing</A> by the Associated Press and EFF, it became clear that Comcast was, in fact, interfering with BitTorrent, Gnutella, and <A href="http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2007/10/comcast-also-jamming-gnutella-and-lotus-notes">potentially other common file sharing protocols</A> </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.eff.org/testyourisp"><P>Meanwhile, the Comcast affair inspired us to launch our Test Your ISP project.  Our aim is to ensure that the Internet community has the tools and organization to quickly recognize when ISPs engage in interference or protocol discrimination in the future.  </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.eff.org/testyourisp">The first piece of software released by EFF's Test Your ISP project is <A href="http://www.eff.org/testyourisp/pcapdiff/">pcapdiff</A>.
