The "no blocking" and "no throttling" requirements are both subject to the exception for "reasonable network management."

I wouldn't be too sure that the FCC wouldn't see preventing or restricting server usage on residential connections as "reasonable." The general thrust of the way they talk about the internet is somewhat rigid and one-way, even in this document. They go out of their way to note that the proposal is for consumer internet access, and not the services offered to "edge providers" (though they leave open the possibility that the courts might force them to treat both the same).

Bittorrent is peer-to-peer where each peer is both server and client, and the FCC very early on -- even before attempting to adopt general open internet regulations -- ruled that throttling bittorrent wasn't "reasonable network management". This seems to be a fairly strong indicator that preventing servers on "residential" connections would not generally be reasonable network management.
