Glasnost: Bringing Transparency to the Internet

Today I came across this tool and subject of Internet traffic shaping by ISP s (Internet Service Provider). " Glasnost "  project was started by Dr.  Krishna P. Gummad i ,  Head, Networked Systems Research Group, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS). Purpose of this project is to check if ISPs around the world are shaping/manipulating the internet traffic purposefully to reduce broadband speeds generally known as  Bandwidth throttling . But ISPs in some countries manipulate this bandwidth throttling policies, in order to shape the network traffic and reduce bandwidth usage. For More information on  Bandwidth throttling, go to its wikipedia page . So in order to  improve network transparency, Glasnost was started, currently it has two online tools which you can use to check if your ISP is shaping the traffic and providing you a lesser bandwidth. There is comprehensive data/reports is/are available at its official...

Simple But Interesting Pattern

Logic used by programmer is much more important than syntax of any programming language. If you really want to build upon your logic for programming - then try to create simple pattern like A, B, other number patterns etc. which really help in developing conditional handling of scenarios. When I first started programming almost 6 years back, I used to take up different challenging programs to code by myself. So I did code all A to Z patterns, many other number patterns, etc. Here are code snippets of few patterns - 1)  Pattern of Uppercase Alphabet "A" -                        **                          Here, User will input Height (and/or width of this pattern)      *  *                         And program will output, output as shown...     ***...
