HI,
Please advise where I can find details about the prioritisation (ie QOS) of traffic that BT applies in the network towards the consumer (i.e. the home).
My service is copper based, and I get 37Mb/s download (BT to home). This bandwidth is often saturated, and I'd like to understand, in the event of contention:
- which traffic receives highest priority, and which is lower (if any)? (for example "PPoE > SIP > BT VoIP > BT TV/Sport > Gaming > Other streaming providers > HTTP/S > Other")
- Are there any classification rules BT have put in writing somewhere?
- What size queues are provided in the BT Gateway towards the consumer, before lower priority traffic is dropped (queues are expensive, they need hardware memory, so I do not expect much for consumers..)
-------------------------
Point of interest: imagine if a UK ISP allowed the consumer to choose which traffic they wanted to be prioritised from network to home, via an ISP provided Portal....
