I had my own internet service company, like 17-een years ago (~2000), the internet speed was awfull, i paid something like 100 usd/month for "32kbps", which was very unstable and had more than 50 users hooked up. It was normal for a page to load in 3-5minutes, but if longer - people were getting angry
What i had to do is set up traffiic speed limits for ftp. It all worked pretty good for some time, the DSL technology came, which was great, but then the fucking Torrent tech showed up. Damn it was a problem! So we resolved that too under linux servers (i am no admin, but i explain the problem and my admin solved it).
Sooooooooo.... to get to the point. I think Bitcoin and blockchain traffic is exposed to manipulations and blocking. The solutions are there already. I don't see enough discussions on this topic. I hope people realise how serious threat that is!
