Fred,

For PSTN voice it doesn't but for elastic real time or elastic bulk
transfer it might.  What you are saying is that AF doesn't make sense.
Maybe it doesn't but if so the diffserv WG wasted a lot of time.
Either that or maybe ETS will never be anything but voice traffic.

Or perhaps you think the network is and always will be massively
overprovisioned.  The telephone network and IP infrastructure in
LA and MS was not overprovisioned after Katrina rolled through and
that was a time when a better ETS service would have been handy.
