That's true. All packets will be DE marked but 99% of the time, these DE
marked packets will get through - that's what our SLA with them is. Their
reason for this is that their network is "bleeding edge" and that they are
willing to create an SLA for 0 CIR as compared to most providers who won't
promise you anything.
You can pay, like i said, for CIR and their SLA will guarantee 99.99% packet
delivery up to CIR.
