[Bismark-devel] about ready to do another build

[Srikanth Sundaresan]

My concern about QoS is that without knowing the exact connection, it's pretty useless. If the QoS settings are less ( I think it's set to 128K up, I see 500k up in my hotel), then it's overly restrictive. If it's set to more than that, then it's useless as it never is activated. With long last mile DSL lines, which I think is the default here, it's impossible to predict the actual connection parameters, even if we knew the exact SLA.

It's easy enough to disable QoS during testing. More important than our testing is to make sure we don't cripple the internet connection. Unless the QoS setting is adaptive, I am opposed to turning it on unless we test it in a more controlled setting first.
