I know many people on this list will beg to differ but it's good to look
at every angle on an issue -- David
A new study by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, AT&T
Labs, and the University of Nevada, Reno suggests that an Internet where
all traffic is treated identically would require significantly more
capacity than one in which differentiated services are offered.
Findings from the study were presented June 22 at the Fifteenth IEEE
International Workshop on Quality of Service (IWQoS 2007) in Evanston,
Ill. IWQoS is a premier workshop on quality of service research,
featuring rigorously reviewed technical sessions and papers.
"Clearly, an undifferentiated network in this context is less efficient
and more expensive", said coauthor K.K. Ramakrishnan of AT&T Labs. "We
believe understanding the real impacts of the alternative strategies is
important as the debate about network architecture unfolds."
