In my experience that is easier said than done. However, you remind me of what I think is what most who say they want QoS are really after. DoS protection. By focusing on DoS mitigation instead of trying to provide service differentiation, things begin to make more sense and actually become much more practical and deployable.
how does qos help with a dos attack?
My point is that it's not QoS, it's DoS mitigation. Whatever that means to you, that is the solution I think most people may ultimately be looking for when they say they want QoS.
ah-ha! and here I thought they wanted buzzword compliance :) From what sales/customers say it seems like they have a perception that 'qos will let me use MORE of my too-small pipe' (or not spend as fast on more pipe) more than anything else.
