Considering Jurisdiction When Assessing End-to-End Network Neutrality

Network neutrality (NN) is an Internet principle that needs to be enforced by normative, which is valid just within a jurisdiction that is usually limited by the borders of a country or region. However, existing solutions designed to assess end-to-end neutrality violations do not consider the normative jurisdictions. We argue that jurisdiction-aware violation detection can be achieved through further steps that can be added to current solutions. As a proof-of-concept, we propose a prototype (JurisNN) to expose and discuss the challenges and open issues that need to be faced to consider the normative jurisdiction when assessing end-to-end NN.
