I don't find QoS at odds with Net Neutrality. High Netflix usage on an ISP's network shouldn't kill voice calls or interactive applications. Deciding what goes into the 'video' 'voice' 'p2p' QoS buckets is (and will always be) fuzzy... The litmus test is 1) is payment involved? and 2) what are the offerings of the company who owns the pipes? You don't get to charge YouTube for higher QoS over Netflix, nor can 'TimeWarner Telepresence' work fine during peak periods but FaceTime and Skype do not.

> High Netflix usage on an ISP's network shouldn't kill voice calls or interactive applications. Net neutrality violations are not necessary to ensure this. On a network that does fair queuing/flow queuing, the first application to suffer from congestion will naturally be the one using the most bandwidth: Netflix, not VoIP. No explicit and subjective buckets or classification needed.
