Yes; QOS has no place crossing the boundaries of a network segment - It should allow me to control the ingress and egress of my network, but be stripped before it gets to a network "trunk" like an ISP.
Further on that; If bandwidth on a segment is constrained, the ISP should divide it as fairly as possible, while also trying to maximize throughput. Each user should get an equal share, and if they're using less than that, the remainder should be apportioned to the other users evenly.
- nitrogen 12y agoIt seems to me that some level of either user-controlled QoS or congestion notification is desirable at the ISP level, since your software (e.g. Netflix, VoIP) might not know that the ISP network is congested, but you'd still prefer to tell your ISP's routers to prioritize the VoIP over the Netflix (within your allotted share of bandwidth, of course).
