<p dir="ltr">That's mainly for the tail isn't it ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">So that an RSP could in theory reserve some bandwidth for important traffic over everything else ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Eg. On a business service put citrix traffic into its own class so it isn't affected by general browsing/downloads.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I don't think MTM (vdsl & hfc) support multiple classes do they ? I'm also not sure they've finished implementing all classes on fibre either and they're also a lot more expensive to use anything other than tc4 from memory. <br>
NBN had dropped most of the things that might have made it a business class network and now its essentially a residential Internet upgrade from ADSL.</p>
