RE: Is anyone actually USING IP QoS?
Actually, the cost of undersea capacity is smaller than the cost of land capacity. For all i know, prices are being kept artificially high by parties i don't want to name (they know). (Think cost of rights of way and that digging trenches is not that easy). --vadim Hank Nussbacher <hank@ibm.net.il> wrote:

I agree that the prices are high. But as long as they are high, IP QoS and all the other CoS stuff has a valid place on our toolbench. -Hank
