Google’s MLab, fights for Net Neutrality

Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) have a practice of  blocking  or restricting certain kind of internet traffic for their users. There are many groups fighting for what they called network neutrality. Network neutrality is the principle that Internet users should be in control of what content they view and what applications they use on the Internet. Google is a strong advocate for network neutrality, and as part of its efforts towards network neutrality, it released a open source tool MLab. If you want to know if your ISP blocks or throttles applications you are running, you can diagnose it using this tool.
