I'd be interested, though: do plusnet priotise RTP sessions ahead of HTTP? can you differentiate between somebody pulling an RTP stream containing some TV and having a VoIP call? what about SSH? can customers choose the ordering? > IMO - traffic prioritisation - when done in an open transparent manner (and > yes, there are issues on traffic trying to pretend to be something it's not) > is less bad than the alternatives. open and transparent is good. *not mandating it* needs to be part of that, too. make it an extra, a selling point - 'we do it so that you don't have to worry about it, but if you want to, you can always turn it off'. nothing to do with traffic 'pretending to be something it's not', rather it's the fact that inspection technology is inherently (and, depending upon what you're using it, fatally) imperfect.
