|  Finally, someone understands QoS

[Incumbents] say they will not block or degrade service otherwise, but that is not possible if they are prioritizing some content,"
There, you have it. That's QoS 101.
You take bandwidth to give to application X, that means everyone else shares less bandwidth.
To the shills that say that incumbents will lay new pipes for "premium" customers I'll say:
- get real, this is incumbents you're talking about. if they lay a new pipe, it's because they're already oversubscribing by 10 on a trunk.
- if you are to lay more pipes anyway, what's the point in QoS? QoS is only useful in a congested network. |
