End users do not have any interest in saving ISP upstream bandwidth, their
interest is to get as much as they can, when they want/need it. So solving
a bandwidth crunch by trying to make end user applications behave in an
ISP friendly manner is a concept that doesn't play well with reality.
Congestion should be at the individual customer access, not in the
distribution, not at the core.
