[e2e] National Law and Moral Standards versus Network and End-Point Congestion Control

[Wu Yan]

Good article. I would like to add one:
   As the expanding of the Internet, the processing load in the network is
rising very quickly. If the end point could be more cooperative, the load on
the network can be reduced greatly.
