See RFC 760, which seems remarkably up-to-date:
A few networks offer a Stream service, whereby one can achieve a
smoother service at some cost.
Admittedly, this sentence did not make it into RFC 791.
(Except that my guess what network non-neutrality is really about is
quite different: usage caps exceptions for content where the content
hoster and the ISP have reached an ad-sharing deal. QoS rarely works
in practice because no two organizations or departments can agree on a
common set of parameters.)
