[Chapter-delegates] IETF position on Paid Prioritization

[Franck Martin]

The two RFCs mentioned in the article, indicate clearly pricing, as an example: 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2638 
2.2 Premium service 
In [ 2 ], a Premium service was presented that is fundamentally
   different from the Internet's current best effort service. This
   service is not meant to replace best effort but primarily to meet an
   emerging demand for a commercial service that can share the network
   with best effort traffic. This is desirable economically, since the
   same network can be used for both kinds of traffic. It is expected
   that Premium traffic would be allocated a small percentage of the
   total network capacity, but that it would be priced much higher. So who are you kidding, with this statement?

Dear all 


You may have seen some media coverage relating to AT&T and its interpretation of a certain IETF standard, 


for example: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20015231-38.html 


In conjunction with Russ Housley we have prepared the below statement to clarify: 



IETF position on Paid Prioritization - Wednesday, September 1, 2010 


"The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) notes recent discussion in the U.S. 
media in connection with "paid prioritization" of Internet traffic 
and the associated RFC being discussed within the Internet's technical community. 
AT&T's characterization of the IETF and its use of the term "paid 
prioritization" is misleading. The IETF's prioritization technologies are 
tools that allow users to indicate how they would like their service 
providers to handle Internet traffic. The IETF does not imply any specific 
payment based on prioritization as a separate service."
