Besides playing with words, you do not explain how they are
different. If "managing bandwidth" mean shaping differently HTTP and
SIP, it *is* a violation of Net neutrality, even if SIP is not
"blocked".

This is a very vague statement. Is tearing down BitTorrent connections
(what Comcast does) "managing bandwidth"?
