Our LNSs know the rate of every line, and shape to match the line rate but with small packets having more priority over large - this works well for VoIP, but also ACK packets, DNS, interactive (key strokes), etc. We find people can fill their line with torrents and still have perfect VoIP calls. > Also: if one of the UK's ISP's decided to implement QoS on their > customer base's users and then prioritise VoIP, what kind of impact > would this have on the upstream network? Upstream is not usually an issue as it is not usually congested!
