It's got nothing to do with Net Neutrality. If it was, (a) it would have<br>
happened long before any of that got started, and (b) the rest of the world,<br>
which is not similarly constrained, would be doing it, and everything would<br>
be just peachy.<br>
<br>
No, the problem with QoS on the Internet is the same as allowing senders to<br>
mark e-mails with priorities: everyone thinks *their* traffic is important,<br>
so everyone marks their packets / e-mails as "TOP PRIORITY", and you're back<br>
to exactly the same situation you're in now, where everything's best-effort<br>
and nobody is particularly happy.<br>
