Re: about QoS

["Raghu V.V.J Vadapalli" <[e-mail]>]

hai,
The reasons can be:
IPv4 has TOS bit. But most of the current implementations ignore 
that bit. ( I think it is same ( to some extent ) ur proposal. 
1. If u have only bit then u can't support different classes of QoS.
2. RSVP and MPLS are not just not ment for QoS but Multicast QoS
service.
( I mean they provide mechanisms to support such stuff)
3. Treating all the classes the same, other than the best effort 
traffic is not a good n/w design. 
 4. Why do u think RSVP  implementation is diffcult. I think some body
a good implementation. I remember that somebody mentioned about their
 implementation in this mailing list. ( I agree that deployment in the
current interner is diffcult..) 
 5. If you want to support IP telephony kind of applications 
 we need RSVP.   

Correct me If I am wrong.

Thanks
-Raghu.
