Horrid? Strong words. What's horrid about allowing an ISP to prefer that their BGP traffic has a higher priority than end-user traffic, so that the whole net doesn't fail when pipes are overprescribed, or there is a virus/worm on the net? What's horrid about allowing an end-user to decide which of its traffic should be dropped first, if by definition some traffic HAS to be dropped due to over-prescription? If you think it's horrid, then I'd like some examples, because I suspect that given certain specific scenarios you'd probably agree with what should happen (as neutral as can possibly be managed, and transparent).
