I'd also point out that "All of us have special handling of traffic to
Amazon, Apple, Google and so
on" is the antithesis of net neutrality. IMO, it's reasonable to
discriminate types (video, bulk transfer, real time chat, etc.) of
traffic without discriminating based on the source of the traffic or
the transport protocol. This is what IP layer network signalling, like
in FAST as I mentioned, endeavours to do.
