I assume the goal is to provide some high level of resource control over
network utilization
in a system. The accept proposal is part of more general problem of how to
virtualize
the network infrastructure and services to provide different QoS based on a set
of
parameters.
Your assumption that server application is blind to all this. But the kind of
applications
that would need this resource control are already pretty smart (databases and
web servers).
So wouldn't you want the application to be involved. Imagine a database;
wouldn't you want
connections that come in with high priority to be scheduled in the database
with high priority?
Your solution seems like having an express line to get into Disneyland, but
still
ending up waiting for all the rides...
It just seems to add more complexity, complexity isn't always bad; just
something
that should be avoided if possible.
