The thought of letting customers actually make changes to my edge routers would keep me up at night...
To let customers decide priorities in your backbone is a bad idea, but I don't think that's the issue here. Assuming the customer's link to the network to be the primary bottleneck; there's nothing wrong with giving customers the ability to prioritise traffic on their link, provided that your access-equipment is able to handle queueing etc (given fool-proof mechanisms that enable self-service and keep your NOC out of the loop of course;). //per -- Per Heldal heldal () eml cc
