[e2e] QoS vs Bandwidth Overprovisioning

[Christian Huitema]

Fred,

The number 1 complaint is not about QoS, but about lack of bandwidth.
The general public mostly complains when something that is expected to
work, e.g. reading a web page, does not. The root of the complaints is
most frequently an under-provisioned element somewhere, e.g. an
overloaded server. Indeed, the most striking area of under-provisioning
is the access loop, and a fair amount of complaints would be related to
the slow pace of broadband deployment.
