I support this document. I note sqm and cake are the *only* QOS
systems out there that have ever bothered to pay attention to the
diffserv standards. I don't think netduma's "anti-bufferbloat" does,
nor does the mq, prio, etc qdiscs in linux.

It's not a please. It's a three way contract with network services,
isps, and users. And of these, the users request should be paramount.

short of a lawsuit I don't see any way comcast can be coerced to
remove the *one* line in their cmts config files that remarks traffic.
... but hey, miracles happen.

passing CS1 through to wifi really sucks. Bleaching all diffserv from
comcast at the edge makes sense until that miracle happens.

I agree. CS1 has caused no end of trouble for a good idea.

I do not like that the standard allows for total starvation. I would
prefer it had a minimum of 5%.
