->Is it true that there are now some gateways that are blocking traffic based
->on the perceived commercial-ness or non-commercial-ness of the IP addresses?
As far as I know, the blocking is done not on anyone's "perception", but
rather on a flat statement by the source of the traffic that it will not
guarantee to comply with NSFNET Acceptable Use.
