Re: Traffic Shaping

it will affect your service though if a number of users on the same UBR as you are maxing their connections out all the time. I'm in favour of traffic prioritisation - eg. voip first, web pages second, p2p 3rd. provided it isn't used as a way of cramming as many users as possible onto the network with the min of investment in upgrades.

ie. it's obvious my VOIP phone call shouldnt go tits up just cos there's a temporary surge of use on the network - that should be managed by traffic prioritisation BUT... the prioritisation should be for surges of use not for managing usage.
