Mike,

Interesting.  I presume that most or all of those 69% are referring to
some sort of separation of traffic on the campus LAN or rationing of
known bottleneck links, which is a perfectly sensible approach in many
cases.

This is a meaning of "QoS" that I specifically defined as out-of-scope
for the talk I gave yesterday, which took "QoS" to mean end-to-end,
interdomain, IP service assurances.

Please *do* share the report when it is finished.  Thanks!
