You Don't Know Jack about Bandwidth: If you're an ISP and all your customers hate you, take heart. This is now a solvable problem.
Abstract
Bandwidth probably isn't the problem when your employees or customers say they have terrible Internet performance. Once they have something in the range of 50 to 100 Mbps, the problem is latency, how long it takes for the ISP's routers to process their traffic. If you're an ISP and all your customers hate you, take heart. This is now a solvable problem, thanks to a dedicated band of individuals who hunted it down, killed it, and then proved out their solution in home routers.

A Bandwidth-Efficient Scheduler for MPLS DiffServ Networks
MASCOTS '04: Proceedings of the The IEEE Computer Society's 12th Annual International Symposium on Modeling, Analysis, and Simulation of Computer and Telecommunications SystemsDiffServ networks support three forwarding classes: EF, AF and BE. Scheduling algorithms based on priority queueing such as Cisco LLQ and MDRR seem to be a natural choice to provide EF service. The main problem with priority queueing is that, due to ...
