Hi Frank, re:<<...until prioritization schemes are instituted on the 'net.>> True, and that means the WHOLE net. Any portion without it, and we have yet another type of bottleneck. The "inability to maintain a requested QoS" bottleneck that we haven't heard about yet because the data transported doesn't mandate it. These bottleneck issues, and the "layers of the onion" always seem to point to the same thing. Too many band-aids have to be added to get the end-to-end connection in line with the expectations of future data transport and the expected content (multi-megabit CBR (constant bit rate)). We need a 'new' internet designed with these things in mind from the start. On the shared access front, particularly in the cable case, recall that there are 2 necessary forms of sharing: sharing bandwidth/timeslots for Management packets, and sharing for data packets. How these are handled varies with the overall sharing strategy, but suffice it to say there is more sharing going on than meets the eye. dh (QoS=Quality of Service) PS I wonder how 3COM's failure to pass DOCSIS certification will affect ATHM's roll out plans.
