Another reason to prioritise some data streams over others is to •{1•manage congestion•{2}••1}•.◊ ◊Congestion is caused by the growing number of services that are provided over the internet, as well as the growing size of the data that is needed to enhance the quality of these services•{3}•.◊ ◊The alternative to data prioritisation would be to invest at large-scale•{4• •4}•in network capacity•{5}•.
See •{1}• in Section •{2}•.
Consider video quality improving from regular or Standard Definition (SD) to High Definition (HD) and three dimensional (3D).◊ ◊Every quality increase involves more data and hence requires more bandwidth.
Alternatively, the online content provider (e.g. Netflix) could compress the data more, but this goes at the expense of the quality.◊ ◊When congestion is very high or when the ISP were to charge Netflix for >>>>passing through the signal >>>>>>(in the absence of net neutrality rules), Netflix may have more incentives to invest in better compression techniques.
