Bear this in mind: There is no such thing as 'Better than Best Effort' in the Internet. In other words, in order to give some traffic 'preferrential' treatment, someone's traffic has to be 'penalized'. I mean, you're bound by the laws of physics -- you can't make light travel any faster across a piece of fiber than it already does, given DWDM, etc. So who's traffic gets penalized? The people who don't pay them? That's basically extortion in my book (and for what it's worth, I wrote one on QoS). :-)
Agreed, but this seems to be a clear attempt to pull on <insert targer here>'s customer base, clear and simple. They are moving from a default of all "equal" to a default of "slower" in a general sense, so now you must pay to get back to "equal"...seems like a backhanded way of building brand loyal customers...instead of doing it the old fashision way - having a good services. But I didn't write a book on QOS or anything for that matter...so those are my 2 cents (given that 2 US cents isn't even worth that much in metal) lol -Todd _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
