Oh, I personally have no problem with you saying hard things about this work, as long as it's what you really think. One never finds the truth unless one is willing to look hard, neh? And I'm pretty sure Dave Clark (who was a leading light in IntServ) would be OK with you doing so too (I worked very closely with him for years, to the point where I deputized for him at meetings). I honestly don't remember exactly what my take was on IntServ and RSVP; I'd have to go look. I recollect seeing the case that _if resources were limited_, certain classes of application (I guess we called them 'inelastic') would need reservations to work properly. So I was probably susceptible to the argument that 'if we've got bandwidth to light our <insert flammable objects> with, we don't need resource reservation'. And I remember being not _thrilled_ with RSVP, but I don't recall exactly why. But, as, you said, wrong list. Maybe internet-history: http://mailman.postel.org/mailman/listinfo/internet-history if you did want to delve into it. Noel
