How is TE part of QoS? Maybe we are talking a different type of TE. To me, TE is the part that the traffic takes, not really what queue it sits in to transmit. I could see a arguement for QoS being part of TE, but... (Assuming that you TE your netword so there is no conjestion.) --- Opinions in this email are the personal opinions of the author and are not associated with author's employer.

However, you missed one important part of QoS, which is TE. TE is about avoiding congestion in the first place by more efficiently using all of the bandwidth you already have in the network. To that extent, it is a substitute for adding more pipe. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
