the rest of the presentations are at
http://siw.gsfc.nasa.gov/agenda.html
(SIW1 has html conversions of all slides online; SIW2 is wholly
powerpoint. Really, I'd like to see pdfs of the lot - all the
read-anywhere-platform-independent convenience of one, all the
download-a-single-file convenience of the other.)

QoS and queue management shouldn't depend on what traffic is, but on
what traffic does imo - otherwise there's a semantic gap. When
rate-based, SCPS-TP is still sending TCP-style packets, so the
protocol identifier is valid.
