And another brief take...

It is painfully obvious that RSVP cannot be implemented
on a large scale for years now for reasons having to do
more with fundamental properties of algorithms (i.e. complexity)
than with particulars of protocols or implementations.

RSVP - perpetuum mobile of 90s? :)

Yep. Altough not _all_ QoS schemes are broken-as-designed. The
most trivial per-packet priority combined with ingress
priority mix shaping works. Ths idea of end-to-end
whatever reservations or guarantees is usually propounded
by people who either neglected their CS courses or those
who are trying to sell it.

Yep. The biggest QoS secret is that nobody actually needs
it. Bandwidth is cheap and is growing cheaper. The
manpower needed to deploy and maintain QoS is getting
more and more expensive.
