That brings up irresponsible users - users who don't care about their impact, and even worse hacker-type users who would deliberately bring down the net if they could ... how long before someone figures out how to make a server direct a Real Audio stream (or whatever) at someone else? The leverage for hackers could be enormous. Dick St.Peters, Gatekeeper, Pearly Gateway, Ballston Spa, NYI pretty much agree with you, My first thought was this would be a disadvantage, since most users have no clue about the working of the net, but they know that application <bandwidth hog> 'runs faster' than application <net friendly>. It's the old grazing on the commons thing, Larry Plato Speaking for myself
If roque applications become too widespread, a scalable yet "fair" forwarding scheme such as SFQ will become a necessity (Stochastic Fair Queueing, for those unfamiliar). A few routers already are beginning to experiment with such options. In that case the net friendly application may also be the one that runs faster. Curtis - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
