PC: Thank you for the reply. We will not encourage customers to disconnect cable TV service, think of it more like an add-on. I generate http test stream with DSCP code point 5 to match the Xbox service, however Comcast is rewriting the packets as CS 1, even when serving out a server at Soft Layer (paid peer). This is why I ask for name of service Microsoft is using, it is not the regular paid peering. Sincerely, Nabil

While I still don't agree it's fair, that arrangement seems limited to the viewing of the Xfinity TV application via XBOX for subscribers who have both an internet and cable TV package via Comcast and not XBOX in general. None the less, the cap is 250gb at the moment, and only applies to residential accounts.

NANOG List, I am developing streaming video service, and seek your feedback... I would like to pay Comcast forward so that accessing our site does not count against user's bandwidth caps, similar to the arrangement made with Microsoft Xbox. Does anyone know the name of this service? Is it something the sales contact at http://as7922.peeringdb.com/ can provide? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Nabil
