Re: A word on QOS and prioritization

I've taken to running my bit torrent at night when I'm sleeping so I can stand to use my connection, but I'd be totally OK with Comcast throttling (not RESETTING) my uploads during peak hours (or even non-peak hours, if to a lesser extent).

However, forging RST packets I am NOT OK with, as it undermines the basis of TCP/IP.

Slow down my bit torrent packets, I don't care, just don't sever the connection completely (especially not with forged replies).

 I could see that type of prioritization of resources being ok. If the network is being heavily used and large groups of people are going to be affected, then get the top 5-10% of users and slow down their speeds until the congestion is over. Better that 5-10% of customers get slowed down than 100% of customers get slowed down. Of course, improving their network capacity is the better, long term solution.
