If there’s no traffic jams, you’re free to drive however much it want
If there’s traffic jams, the more trucks your company have in traffic the lower priority you get for them. That gives everybody access because those with the most trucks can take some off the street to raise the priority for the others a bit, and that in turn gives room to others
Basicslly the more data you use, the lower priority you are
So the person browsing the Web doesn’t get slowed down by the person redownloading their entire steam library, but if there’s bandwidth for everyone then they all go full speed
The downside is some heavier services need to be as fast as possible for good service, like video calls, while you’re not going to really notice if your game takes another 2 minutes to download (and this is the way stuff is prioritized now by default)
You could split the difference, but it doesn’t really fix the problem, it just fixes the data limiting nonsense. And we should just make that flatly illegal
Really, they should only be able to sell 50mb/s service if their network can provide that to all of their users on at any point in any average day.
So when GTA6 releases, maybe it’s a bit of a slow Internet day, but if they can’t provide what they promised every evening when everyone is streaming TV?
Then they need to start giving people some of their money back. That way they’ll make sure to upgrade their network proactively
there’s actually tools for this I think. packets can designate priority. I think its called Quality Of Service. for example e-mails and your ‘civilization’ turn say ‘don’t worry, slip me in when you have a free millisecond, I can wait a minute if you’re really fucking impacted’, streaming video and other suff with some leeway says ‘I got a schedule here’ and calls or your ‘call of battle strike’ game where the thing is badically useless if its late cut to the front of the line.
not every router implements it, and that’s fine. unless I just imagined all if this. its been a while, but the people who designed the bones of the internet were smart and forward thinking. for example the problems with address space and stuff ipv6 was implemented to solve was finalized in the 90s. the corporations hadn’t ruined everything yet.
You’re correct, like I said that’s the default. A home router might not have it, but basically every commercial piece of network gear has had it for decades now. It was basically required for things like VOIP back in the day, so it became very standard
The sliding window and tally falloff could also vary. It would help the network providers better utilise and monitor their networks, and users can plan for big downloads by keeping their service quiet for a period before they begin.
How would you explain that in a simple way people can understanding?

It’s like a buffet at Golden Corral versus the ones that send the little plates down a conveyor belt.
The Golden Corral model is far more efficient at scale.
Small data really fast, big data slow
claps like a seal
Yeee thankies

As an example, the initial unconstrained window would be measured in minutes:
Small: 1 minute
Medium: 5 minutes
Large: 30 minutes
The sliding window and tally falloff could also vary. It would help the network providers better utilise and monitor their networks, and users can plan for big downloads by keeping their service quiet for a period before they begin.
