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 ³managed
service² 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 don¹t 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.
