Re: Net Neutrality's Not What They Think It Is Heres an Idea that I think every one could go with
Issue a standard DSCP set of priorities
Make an RFC for it
then you can say all voip traffic must be marked between e0 and ef
then after setting in the rfc a set of what catagories should be in each dscp "zone" then all the program needs to do is set its dscp properly
to avoid abuse of this idea you could set only a guaranteed amount of bandwidth
ie a VoIP program would set its DSCP bit to anywhere between e0 and ef
then the isp set top priority on that
if a torent tries to use e0-ef then it wouldn't get much bandwidth
the in d0-df could be for gaming or such (more bandwidth but slightly lower priority)
00-0f could be for non-time critical data (ie not overly sensitive to lag)
then with all ISP's using the same set of dscp values they could even set voip to be able to use transit instead of a peering links if the lag is lower and torrents to stick to peers
it would be vendor nuetral so you could use any VoIP play any game
and I say use dscp in ranges so that it could be a gradient at it getts closer to 0f (so e0 would have more bandwidth than ef but ef would have less lag) |

| The only problem with that is a LOT of consumer grade equipment doesn't know how to handle DSCP tags properly. DSCP only works well if every device on the network tags and interprets those tags properly.
