note that it's qos at many layers in the stack as well:
  1) your application 'qos' on the machine(s) on which it runs
  2) your application's traffic qos on the machine/vswitch/etc on which it runs
  3) your application's traffic qos on the immediate network elements  (in pop)
  4) your application's traffic qos on the intermediary network
elements (in metro)
  5) your application's traffic qos on the overall transport network
(ran, fiber, wired, cross-metro/etc)

marketing claims are fun.
