I whole-heartedly agree. I believe the DoD must extend its notions of Precedence and Preemption to all applications, voice, video, web, ftp, mail, etc.
... This illustrates some of my concerns about this requirements work being done outside the IETF. 1. The DoD doesn't determine IETF requirements. It's one stakeholder in one country; the IETF looks at things globally. 2. The notion that solutions such as precedence and preemption are (a) requirements and (b) applicable to all applications just doesn't compute for me. We'd actually need to understand at a more basic level what the functional requirements are, in terms that are meaningful for a datagram network. I don't believe that will happen in ATIS or ITU-T.
