I believe a network should be able to sell priotitization at the edge, but not in the core. I have no problem with Y!, for example, paying a network to be prioritized ahead of bit torrent on the segment to the end

Considering yahoo (as any other big freemailer) is (unwillingly for the most part) facilitating a lot of spam traffic this would mean a lot of spam traffic gets prioritised. I can see that as an undesirable and unfortunate side effect. Regards, Jeroen -- http://goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/plural-of-virus.html
