Do you have configuration examples for common IP carrier platforms on
how to deploy support? Or is support in CPE's, laptops, & CDN caches
sufficient? Are you aware of any software distributors that have
indicated interest in this approach?

In cases where you have both 'normal' and 'bulk' content on the same
webserver, are there any webservers that allow you to set a DSCP value
per path or filename?

Kind regards,
