Those requirements don't mesh very well with the real world. That is,
people use use a network that they've been provided or paid for aren't
necessarily 'abusing' anything, and blocking access at times when the
network isn't fully loaded doesn't help anyone. What's the big picture
here? Don't you really need QOS to throttle certain things at peak
times only?
