Matthew,
I said earlier that I prefer there to be enough bandwidth. But when there isn't?
When there isn't enough bandwidth then QoS is a temporary solution. The answer is to get more bandwidth. Otherwise you're making the choice between delaying or dropping lower class traffic, and eventually[1] that'll impact on the performance of that class sufficiently that those using it will give up. For short term problems eg abnormal traffic flows causing congestion, sure. For long term traffic management - get bigger tubes. --David [1] A few more percent utilisation?
