Or discrimination based on application. The discrimination maybe cost or performance. The noise was about prioritising voice traffic over others and charging higher for the reduced latency. When done with a reasonable percentage of traffic, everybody elses packets will suffer higher latency. It happens often on MTNL, where you will see no packets for a few seconds then all packets will come through. No packet loss, but will screw up any latency sensitive app eg irc, av. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
