> Now a company with bad performance can ask its ISP to fix it and point at the software and people who have already used it. If the ISP already knows it has a performance complaint, it can get ahead of the problem by proactively implementing LibreQoS.

The post was a pretty good explanation about a new distro ISPs can use to help with fair queuing, but this statement is laughably naive.

A distro existing is only a baby first step to an ISP adopting this. They need to train on how to monitor these, scale them, take them out for maintenance, and operate them in a highly available fashion.

It's a huge opex barrier and capex is not why ISPs didn’t bother to solve it in the first place.
