<div class="gmail_default" style="">I totally agree and 99.999%
of the time, congestion on the Internet is a nuisance, not a
critical problem. I'm not sitting here complaining that my
public internet circuits don't have SLAs or that we run into
some packet loss and latency here and there under normal
operations. That's obviously to be expected.
But this whole topic is around what to do when a once in a
lifetime pandemic hits and we're faced with unseen levels of
congestion across the country's infrastructure. I mean the
thread is titled COVID-19 Vs Our Networks. That's why I
brought up the possible application of TSP to tell some of the
big CDNs that maybe they should limit 4K streaming or big DLCs
during a pandemic. That's it. And yet I'm getting chastised
(not necessarily by you) for suggesting that hospitals,
governments, water treatment plants, power plants, first
responders, etc are actually more important during times like
this.</div>

To me, sounds like a potential business case for an existing or new
CDN provider focused squarely on healthcare, and other such critical
services :-).<br>

As is always the case with invention, "I didn't like what I found,
so I built a better one".<br>
