abstract = {The QoS of today's best-effort network does not
deliver the performance required for a wide range of interactive and multimedia
applications that have demanding delay and bandwidth requirements. We discuss
how current research into congestion control has uncovered that best-effort
networks, with just a few modifications to the existing equipment, can deliver
the performance required for a range of applications. Furthermore, we describe
how best-effort networks lead to a pricing mechanism that charges users in
accordance to the stress they place on the network.}
