OK yes, My Netflix download is going to kill your VOIP call. RS > Well ..its always been more subtle than you think. You have to distinguish between a Voice OVER IP call aka Skype etc vs a “managed service” like Voice USING IP or VuIP which is an entirely different beast. Modern VuIP which is all of Cable Voice in Europe and the US VZ FIOS etc and VoLTE is managed and uses IP technologies such as SIP/IMS but the routing may or may not have anything to to do with BGP. And BTW you have to still do the first order number translation as well. AKA RFC 6116 ENUM or something new which we are actually debating in RAI. Its segmented managed traffic. Its not Netfilx killing Skype its Microsoft Apple Android Updates as well. We have no visibility on how the OS actually queues application packets if at all. Can't fix the queuing algorithm for just one interaction... The reason I started pushing on this is that in the wake of Title II I am expecting a lot of people to be asking me to explain how the Internet worketh and this is precisely the sort of example that shows how (1) things are more complex than they appear, (2) how some sort of coordination is needed and (3) how the coordination needs to take less than five years to come to a decision. RS> You really really don’t want to go into the US NN debate. Been there done that. The people who would have called you already called someone else. The outcome here in the US after February 26 when the FCC Order drops is already predetermined. The Zombies take over (aka the lawyers) it goes back to the courts. Its totally partisan. Kabuki Theatre. Nothing happens. But Nothing is perhaps a reasonable outcome here. First do no harm.
