Well, yes.. QoS is implicit here. Having said that it pays to note that the general citing of "guality of service" attributes, purely on a subject assessment basis, often becomes confused with the specific QoS standards in ATMspeak (particularly as relates to constant bit rate services, or CBR), as well as the newly accepted use of the term in IETFparlance.

Beyond this confusion is the philosophical tensions which exist within IETF circles and the established ITU following as to how best to satisfy the subjective sense. One way is through the use of controls as spelled out in the RFCs and ATM standards, and the other is to simply supply more bandwidth. Bandwidth, by the way, which is presumed to be virtually free at some point for the levels of capacity we're talking about as relates solely for the support of voice.

My sense is that the traditional carriers, who have only recently [in relative terms] jumped onto the IP bandwagon, are the ones who will be pushing for deterministic forms of controls, as they seek to further emulate the existing PSTN through new IP constructs. And in so doing, they will have an extreme dulling effect on the experimentation and innovation which has made the 'net what it is has become, to date.
