Abstract
Network neutrality is the principle according to which a network should process all traffic equally without differentiation.However, Internet ServiceProviders (ISPs), today, are not transparent with their traffic management policies, which puts them under the suspicion of violating the neutrality principle.Because of this,we need efficient and practica lmethods to monitor such violations. In this research proposal, we present three prevalent works related to the inference of network features (e.g., neutrality and congested links). Then we discuss possible research directions in the specific area of neutrality inference.
