I definitely have tons of the WoB alphas . I ' ll have to take a look at some WYSE alphas to see if I have any sets . And I believe these were just pulled off of old boards and not the traditional grab bag style of caps that failed QA . I ' ll take a look this weekend and PM you some details ! <| sep |> Honestly , as a fellow cs major , I don ' t think you have any grasp whatsoever on the idea of high low level processing . Hint shit has nothing to do with multi cores or even fast processing in general . <| sep |> In the end it ' s a trivial effect , but it ' s important to remember is that a 10 Gbps port can only be sending at 10 Gbps or not at 0 Gbps , nothing inbetween . And so if two ports are transmitting towards a single uplink , buffering will happen and when the buffers fill up drops will occur . QoS is just a tool to manage that . VoIP over the internet still works fine in most places because best effort works well enough for most stuff .
