Exactly. I've been saying this to vendors for the last few years, as they try to push their QOS mechanisms on me. I'm not in the business of trying to engineer some optimum packet discard strategy. I would rather spend my time and money trying to minimize the drop percentage. (I haven't been tested yet with the task of trying to minimize or standardize latency for traffic like VOIP - might change my tune if I was dealing with that.) Tony Rall
