Not to bring any unwanted sanity to all these wild posts, but I thing most of the people here are out of touch with reality. (More so than they should be anyway.) I work with IOS everyday, I've got stacks of routers sitting on my desk, those are my qualifications. For a good long time, IOS has had these little things called "Access Lists", you may or may not have heard of them. They "block packets" to a given "destination"./Every/ router manufacturer has this feature implemented in some form in one of there boxes.
On a side note, prioritization of packets is a "good thing", you want VoIP/VoFR/VoATM packets as well as Video over IP/FRM/ATM packets to get out of the box and down the line as quickly as possible. Getting lagged down in a buffer waiting for some idiot to get his porn, causes all sorts of havok in RT-streams. Don't forget that.
For a page whose audience is supposedly the Creme' de La Creme' of internet/computer savvy users, there sure are a lot of ignorant outbursts.
