Is there a performance difference between the Internet and Internet2? Should that be allowed, or must all IP networks have the same performance?I think that statement may confuse metrics like performance and capacity, with the action of intentionally QOS'ing Netflix over Youtube over the same uplink. One is a reality, and one offers disturbing possibilities. Best Regards, Nathan Eisenberg
Maybe the ISP's should move this choice to the consumer. The last mile is 'usually' where congestion really hits. Why not build a portal for consumers to go in an choose what's important to them? I know some MPLS VPN providers do something similar (have a portal businesses can use to view and modify QoS settings). I'd love to be able to prioritize Netflix over youtube or bittorrent or whatever games my kids are playing since I mainly use Netflix to watch movies. But I wouldn't like the big guys dictating what is important to me.
