ISP Information:
An effort to provide different prioritization levels for different types of traffic over a network. Various methods are used to achieve quality of service, including the RSVP protocol. For example, streaming video may have a higher priority than ICMP traffic, as the consequences of interrupting streaming video are more obvious than slowing down ICMP traffic.

Quality of Service - On 31-Mar-2004, =?iso-8859-1?Q?Roland_M=F6sl?= wrote: I think only for my future in 100 years 200 years 500 yearsOne of your problems is that you are extrapolating current technology 500 yearsinto the future. That is total nonsense. In 20 years there may bebreakthroughs that you can't even imagine now, and those breakthroughs maycompletely alter the supply of energy for the world. You are like someoneliving in 1900 who is calculating how much horse food will be required for theexpected population in 2400 and predicting a calamity. If you lived in 1900,you would certainly be the one wanting to tax horse food so that people wereforced to walk to avoid the looming horse-food shortage.On what basis do you conclude that photovoltaic panels will be the salvationfor mankind in 500 years?I believe in research, engineering, exploration and an open mind towardsalternatives that have yet to be discovered. I also believe in political andeconomic systems that reward innovation by allowing the innovators who do thework and take the risks to keep the rewards.It is fine for you to be an evangelist for what you believe to be the properpath for the future -- solar power, etc. But I object to the arrogantimperialism you show toward other cultures that may not fall in line with yourideal quickly enough. Afican people have no chance. To poor, no education. But US people have enough money and enough education. But they decided to destroy the future by continuing to waste energy like crazy.To the contrary, over the last 50 years nearly all of the innovations in energyproduction, computers, medicine, space travel and other technical developmentshave originated in the USA. While you seek to use political means to imposeyour vision for the world, we are instead working to develop new technologiesthat will benefit all of us. The difference is that we don't have theimperialistic attitude of requiring all other countries to meet our standardsof lifestyles, house sizes and car sizes. I believe you stated in anothermessage that you even have a standard for family size; how controlling can youget?
