Does IP provide QoS or not?
IPv4 has the DSCP (formerly ToS) field, and IPv6 has the Traffic Class field. Those are just fields in the IP headers. IP itself does not have any QoS. QoS is implemented by network devices, often ...

VoIP over the public Internet can be a problem, but it usually works good enough, most of the time, although there can be times where it sucks. Most ISPs have extra cost features where they will honor ...

Why doesn't ISPs reset DSCP at the edge before delivering traffic to customers?
I have no practical experience in running CoS/DSCP in ISP networks, but a logical explanation would be that it doesn't make sense to just change fields in a header. Even if I as an intermediate ISP ...

How does throttling of network traffic work (to limit bandwidth by ISP e.g.)?
