The real question is, would the endpoints be willing to shun each other
not based on the other endpoint, but complacency of the endpoint's
provider. I believe such traffic changes would quickly find themselves
to "net-neutrality" lawsuits.
From things I've seen in the past, it is appropriate to say "my server,
my rules" but not appropriate to say "my network, my rules". ie, if I
wanted to shape/block/alter p2p, block vontage, etc.
