Hi Robert,
great discussion, thank you.
I'd expect that the level of resource isolation and protection, guaranteed
or assured performance metrics will be applied as constraints and,
potentially, limit the use of the common infrastructure in favor of TE'd
and more controlled networks. For these premium services, as
Stewart suggested, different technologies, e.g., packet replication and
duplicate elimination, could be used.

Regards,
Greg
