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.
