Abstract
Described herein are systems and methods that may determine a net neutrality status. Server and agent of an internet network may each generate two flows of data that are transmitted/received by the server/agent, respectively. The first flow comprises an unspoofed data flow as may be transmitted over the network based on an HTTP GET command. The second flow may comprise a spoofed data flow. The second flow may emulate, or spoof, a video stream or other data flows that may be altered in the network. Server or agent may compare the first flow relative to the second flow to determine differences in performance data, from which a net neutrality status can be detected. Generally, after a measurement command is invoked, the system starts a downstream measurement. Then after completion of the downstream measurement, the system starts an upstream measurement.
