Re: A word on QOS and prioritization

said by NetAdmin1:

I'd like to know where you found that information...
I work in this industry and I've seen this code. Think about it -- write it in psuedocode -- how WOULD you give traffic priority? You wouldn't -- you can't. You can only slow everything else. It's like how a firetruck or an ambulance gets priority, everyone and everything else pulls over to let it through.

And prioritization is only meaningful when their is congestion. Until their is congestion there is no need for priority schemes because everything is getting thru. Only when routers start dropping packets do priority rules kick in.
