HotNets '23: The 22nd ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks
ACM Workshop on Hot Topics in Networks (HotNets)

We are used to defining network neutrality as absence of traffic differentiation, like policing or shaping. These mechanisms, however, are often not what determines end-users’ quality of experience (QoE). Most content today is accessed through edge caches, operated by cloud providers, but located near or inside the end-user’s Internet Service Provider (ISP). Hence, the end-users’ QoE is often determined by the interplay between the caching system (controlled by the cloud provider) and the network between edge cache and end-user (controlled by the eyeball ISP). So, we argue that an obvious point where differentiation may occur, and where transparency and neutrality may be desirable is the caching system; and that we (as a community) should perhaps consider notions of neutrality that capture the connection between caching and QoE.
