Thanks for your clarifying answer! Allow me to bother you once more. If I
understand it correctly, CoS provides a long-term guarantee in the sense
that: "if the service provider has correctly dimensioned the network, the
user knows sufficient resources will be available during the next couple of
months". Whereas QoS provides a short-term guarantee: "if the reservation
succeeds, sufficient resources will be available for the duration of the
session".

So CoS ultimately depends on network dimensioning & planning? If the
service provider overallocates resources, no CoS. It seems to me this
involves some serious network planning & dimensioning problems, right?
