Talk:Traffic shaping

message: I've been trying to tidy up the "traffic classification" section of this article but I've concluded that this section isn't about Traffic Shaping at all (or even about policing).  It's also all specifically about traffic classification in ISP networks, with a particular slant on domestic ISPs and a long section about p2p file-sharing applications.  I think a separate article on computer network traffic classification, or alternatively including it in the bandwidth management or teletraffic engineering articles would be better.  Anyone got any opinions?

replies: text: Three years on and I'm starting to think no-one else is bothered... ;)  I re-read the article and I think it's still hard to follow (and I'm sure my own edits have contributed to this) so I might make an article called "traffic classification" as a home for stuff that really is just about classification.  It's of wider significance than just shaping (billing, net neutrality, opaqueness of traffic and so on) and I think it deserves its own page.  The term isn't that widely used, but I think that's because it's going on invisibly as an input to some other process.  I guess we'll see how it gets on...

text: as it exists today,  seems like reasonable context information. Classification may be used before shaping. ~Kvng (talk) 02:55, 6 December 2021 (UTC)

message: It seems that the goal of traffic shaping is not clear in the article. Delaying packets will read to higher latency, but it won't limit bandwidth, right? What is the goal that traffic shaping seeks to solve?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.224.57.132 (talk) 15:03, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
