Or discrimination based on application. The discrimination maybe cost
or performance. The noise was about prioritising voice traffic over
others and charging higher for the reduced latency. When done with a
reasonable percentage of traffic, everybody elses packets will suffer
higher latency. It happens often on MTNL, where you will see no
packets for a few seconds then all packets will come through. No
packet loss, but will screw up any latency sensitive app eg irc, av.
