We could edit this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_discrimination and elaborate on the legal section. Maybe talk about what reasonable traffic management means and what it isn’t.
^Going off the above:
“Upon reviewing the record, we conclude that the definition of reasonable network management should provide greater clarity regarding the standard used to gauge reasonableness, expressly account for technological differences among networks that may affect reasonable network management, and omit elements that do not relate directly to network management functions and are therefore better handled elsewhere in the rules—for example, measures to prevent the transfer of unlawful content. 255 We therefore adopt the following definition of reasonable network management:
including by addressing traffic that is harmful to the network; 256 addressing traffic that is
unwanted by end users (including by premise operators), such as by providing services or
capabilities consistent with an end user’s choices regarding parental controls or security
capabilities; 257 and reducing or mitigating the effects of congestion on the network. 258 The term “particular network architecture and technology” refers to the differences across access platforms such as cable, DSL, satellite, and fixed wireless.”

A network management practice is reasonable if it is appropriate and tailored to
achieving a legitimate network management purpose, taking into account the particular
network architecture and technology of the broadband Internet access service.
Legitimate network management purposes include: ensuring network security and integrity, including by addressing traffic that is harmful to the network; 256 addressing traffic that is
unwanted by end users (including by premise operators), such as by providing services or
capabilities consistent with an end user’s choices regarding parental controls or security
capabilities; 257 and reducing or mitigating the effects of congestion on the network. 258 The term “particular network architecture and technology” refers to the differences across access platforms such as cable, DSL, satellite, and fixed wireless.”
