No, net neutrality is just a restatement of the End to End principle - network intelligence should be kept at the hosts. The only things routers should be doing are forwarding packets based on daddr, and dropping packets when queues are full (and I guess egress filtering these days).

Having said that, I'm sure that any FCC-created net neutrality would devolve into blessing specific protocols, defining protected classes of businesses, specifically excepting p2p, etc.
