  • Since Google is both the service provider for the client browser and also provides last-mile internet services; they would fit the definition of a supposed neutral ISP but also neutral for applications and services further up the OSI stack.

    Net neutrality is not just a service provider concept but has been viewed this way in the cases service providers have tried to game the system. It also encompasses the concept of an open internet; the neutrality of data is data and presentation, or lack of to the client is defined by open standards, not the desires of any one party.






  • I have mine setup on a Supermicro itx-based machine with an Intel n3710 and 8G of RAM. It has four Intel-based ports but you can easily get away with two.

    I used to run a Zotac ci323 with dual Realtek nics. Works fine for 300M up/down.

    You’ll want two ports, one for WAN one for LAN and most nics will support VLANs if you need more than that. Any VPN or encryption will increase your cpu requirements. If your needs are low a cheap dual-nic Nuc like device works great.
