Congestion Management

Huxley Communications does not implement any congestion management techniques. Huxley Communications operates our network to accommodate the necessary traffic requirements. In the event of congestion, all traffic is classified as best effort.

Content, Applications, Service and Device Providers

Huxley Communications does not discriminate any customer traffic. Huxley Communications utilizes the network management techniques that are equal and standard across all user applications. We do not modify our network to make our directly served applications perform better than applications a user would access over the general Internet. For example, Huxley Communications does not manipulate our network to perform better for customers accessing huxcomm.net email servers versus Huxley Communications customers accessing Google’s gmail.

The network management practices employed by Huxley Communications do not differ between our directly offered applications to those general applications offered over the Internet.

Security Measures

In the event of Denial of Service (DoS), Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack,spoofing or other malicious traffic, Huxley Communications will implement inbound and outbound filtering on specific hosts. These actions will be performed to ensure reliability and availability of the Huxley Communications Network. These actions will not be utilized for normal Internet applications and traffic.
