Is there not the consideration of failure or unanticipated traffic event scenarios which mean that prioritisation of certain traffic would be desirable? In the abnormal event of congestion, would not the peers like traffic marked as high priority to be preserved over the L2 matrix?
Good question, but it raises the ugly issue of who decides what traffic is high priority... Unless there are commercial arrangements in place, I'd suggest that the optimum strategy for all peers would be to mark ALL their traffic as high priority.
