[ ] Whatever, normal traffic.
[ ] Let this traffic be throttled at will (downloading latest Linux distro)
[ ] I need low-latency or else throw it away (VoIP)
[ ] I'd like low latency, but still do packets in order (SSH session)
[ ] Please give me a channel of X quality for the next 2 hours, or don't provide it to me at all (Netflix)
- Karunamon 12y agoExactly. It's information that has to be provided in the IP header. A great description is here: http://packetpushers.net/how-does-qos-work/ http://packetpushers.net/how-does-qos-work/ If that information isn't there, then the packets are treated as "best effort" (or at least, they should be in a sane world).
- wmf 12y agoThe tricky part is how to handle incoming packets. Since you didn't send them you can't mark them.
- bitJericho 12y agoWTF? It's none of the ISPs business what I use their network for. If they don't like me using all the bandwidth up, they should either charge more or instill data caps.
