Same can be said for CoS as well. You can only control what's going out
of your own network. After that as soon as it reach your ISP or what
not, you have no clue if they reset everything or not.

At a minimum ToS can cross routers, CoS not so much unless it is build
for it.

Either way, your QoS will kick in when bandwidth is starving, so if you
don't know that, what's the point...
