Now see this would have been a great time for the truly knowledgeable and
magnonimous to come forward and tell the person and the group the
technologies work and how one might be able to tell the difference between
the two.

One thing I always missed on the group is more "real-world" type of
examples. For instance why would someone want to shape verus police. There
are a lot of nice VoIP networks with people running them who have a need for
deeder and more thorough understanding in this area for sure.

Example - I may not ever want to police my VoIP Traffic or signalling
protocols. However I may always want to prefer to police P2P file sharing
on a given link as an example.

And then come back and explain what really happens when we shape versus when
when we police in the terms of say the tcp traffic versus... udp traffic.
Exactly how much video or voice traffic can we afford to drop? And why this
is important, etc.

Then again we are all reminded that in the course of being a study forum and
especially in the context of the CCIE Lab, we just do things cause we can
and cause we need to do them in order to demonstrate we can do them as
required to the letter of the law... and oh yes - "gimme back my points!"
too....

:)

Just a thought.

It's never good to see the best among us appearing to argue over mere
words...

And it's never good to see previously unknowns seek to make themselves more
memorable by only posting attacks on one of the best contributors the list
has ever known.

I always prefer to frequent forums and lists where people talk and don't
take opportunities to bash or infringe on another when the chance permits
itself.

Since this list is public, such comments can easily be unicasted - unless
they themselves are made and preceived to be made for personal gain. This
comment cuts both ways so read it twice to get the other edge if you missed
it the first time.

Well...

Just an opinion and a thought - I hope a bit more productive.
