You know, this reminds me of having a bright shiney
quarter burning to be spent by virtue of the fact
that it's there. The eight bits in the ip4 header
for TOS were standardized but not widely
implemented. That allowed us to go back
20 years later with a little bit more time and
understanding to create a solution that's at
least plausible. Considering that most QoS is
still at the leap of faith stage, prudence
seems like a perfectly reasonable stance.
