That's mainly for the tail isn't it ?

So that an RSP could in theory reserve some bandwidth for important traffic
over everything else ?

Eg. On a business service put citrix traffic into its own class so it isn't
affected by general browsing/downloads.

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.
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.

Off-topic now.
