Re: Traffic Management
Hi bsddaemon -
So here's a hypothetical for you (or anyone).
Suppose I'm a national ISP, and there's a class of customer that can tell me up front what their upload bandwidth requirements are, and they'll pay a premium to have their upload delivered onto the network/internet at very high priority. That is, they can guarantee an upper limit on the volume of traffic they'll generate, so that I can assure that all the customers on my network will get, on average, all of the upload bandwidth they're paying for. However, this premium customer will get upload immediately upon demand, stalling other, normal customers' upload.
Can the current generation of equipment do this, or something like it?
Thanks,
Carl F. | |

| Stalling other customers, wow if I was one of those other customers I would find myself another ISP ASAP, I think your request is to vaque and to far fetch I mean really stalling other customers.
I mean if you gave me some sort of scenario realistic then we can work with that but right now you are not even in left field but off the planet with those type of request, and I am not trying to poke fun at you. If you wanted to have certain protocols prioritized like http, ftp , streaming video or something like that great. But what it sounds like you are looking for is a certain upload or garuantee on upstream bandwidth which almost all isp's offer in their SLA's of course we are talking business circuits like t1's, ds3's, oc3's and such. You make it sound like you just want any of your upload traffic to be prioritzed outbound well that is all fine but once it hits that first backbone hop all bets are off because there is no or very little of traffic management being done on the backbone to much over head. Why is this important because your traffic can be prioritized on the porivders network but how much of your traffic is just going to STAY on the providers network and not hit the backbone or some other ISP's network whom is not doing QOS. One of the gotcha's for QOS is, it has to be done start to finish. | |
