Some suggestions from NetworkedTogether: Ruth edit
First of all, you are off to a great start! This is a complex issue that wanders into several areas.
A brief description of some concepts or topics to be explored that will expand the article.
There are several different ways that you could go from here. You mention the engineering standpoint. You could discuss how the bottlenecks are because of higher usage or look at it from the standpoint that the businesses really don’t have motive to remove the bottlenecks. This will be hard to do objectively and not give it a cynical tone.
Citations for two academic papers that they should look through.
Giovannetti, E. (2002). Interconnection, differentiation and bottlenecks in the Internet. Information Economics and Policy14. 3) 385-404.
Ricciato, Fabio; Vacirca, Francesco; Svoboda, Philipp. (Mar 14, 2007): Diagnosis of capacity bottlenecks via passive monitoring in 3G networks: An empirical analysis Computer Networks51. 4 1205.
A brief description of why each of the papers noted in (b) will be helpful.
Both of these look interesting. The second one is more current and looks at the engineering and technical aspects.
A quote from one of the two academic research papers identified in (b) that might be of interest.
“ Our results show that both approaches can be used to provide early warning about future occurrences of capacity bottlenecks, and can complement other existing monitoring tools in the operation of a production network.” is a finding from the second article, where they look at several methods to flag possible bottlenecks and hopefully reduce them.
After conducting a search on Wikipedia Commons (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page), post a link to a media file (image, sound, movie) that can be incorporated into each article.
This is a nice illustration that shows how bottlenecks can happen as traffic is directed in certain ways.
Make relevant suggestions for improving grammar, “wikification,” etc.
It looks very “wikified”, no suggestions from me. :-) --NetworkedTogether (talk) 00:20, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Comments from Yoshi edit
- This concise article has full of information and contains diverse aspects of the issue. It would become more friendly for readers who are not familiar with the issue, if you divide the whole article into (1) technological explanation (2) policy implication. (And (a)positive effects (b) negative effects under the (2) section, perhaps?)
In the first paragraph
- "... positive and negative effects ... " : to whom? Maybe some examples might help?
In the second paragraph
- "Policy makers are considering... " : probably, need citation. --Yoshi1215 (talk) 01:00, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

It is a conference proceeding, but it mentions the benefits and risks of network neutrality.
Quote: "the debate should shift towards the complex details of differentiating harmful discrimination from beneficial discrimination, and away from high-level secondary questions like whether discrimination is inherently just, who ought to pay for certain Internet services, how important general design principles are, what abstract rights and freedoms consumers and carriers deserve, or whether network operators can give their affiliates special treatment. "
Yoo, C.S. (2006) Network Neutrality and the Economics of Congestion. Georgetown Law Review, Vol. 94. 1947-1908 http://www.nextgenweb.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/yoo-network-neutrality-and-the-economics-of-congestion.pdf It deals with economic sides of network congestion (bottlenecks).
They might overlapped with discussion on network neutrality, but probably useful to include some of related argument in here. --Yoshi1215 (talk) 01:00, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Good start edit
Just wanted to say good start, only note is to remember when you move the article to the mainspace in Wikipedia is that the class template should only be on the talk page - not the article page. Cheers Chris/Epistemophiliac (talk) 17:03, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
Just a few notes edit
Great start.
- One of the important aspects of Wikipedia is the community aspect. Make sure that you research all different sections that are offered on Wikipedia already. I came across this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottleneck.
- Another thing, before putting this into a live space, it is really important to follow the guild lines and design of Wikipedia. For example, I mentioned this to another group, make sure to look at previous featured articles and copy the style. The first sentence having the title bolded.
- Lastly, make sure you have a diverse group of references. When my article got edited for Featured article, I got a lot of criticism for having a one sided source back-up. Think outside the box, and argue all sides!
Hope that helps! Otherwise, the content looks great. This is something we're dealing with as media users. Let me know if you need help with anything.
