My point is that the argument for doing such balancing is that somehow ISPs at the entry points (representing somehow the goals of source and destination of each flow) will classify their flows correctly based on some criterion, and not select the option that allows them to "beat" all the other

All this discussion of DSCP marking brings to mind what happened on the Windows platform, where the OS had to suppress ALL DSCP marks, as app authors were trying to game the system. And even if not trying to ‘game’ it, they have non-obvious reasons why they don’t mark traffic how one would expec

The absolute fundamental issue with diffserv, IMO, is that the carriers cannot agree on an actual specification of what routers and gateways are supposed to do, while being compatible with the core principle of the IP layer: do not hold packets if they cause increasing queueing delay. (this is
