There's exactly *3* cases to deal with:
I suspect that there are 4 cases: The one that was not mentioned is the situation in which queues of packets do exist in one or more of the intermediate routers along a path but the amount of buffering represented by each of those queues is sufficient to handle the bursts of input without any need to drop packets. In that case QoS processing means moving packets forward and back in the queues but not necessarily dropping them. I do not know whether this 4th case is common or not, but certainly it must exist at least in a transient way. --karl-- ------------------------------------------- Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
