I’m torn between res ipsa loquitur and tort liability. I know res ipsa loquitur means the incident speaks for itself, but I’m not confident about which one is more applicable here.

I feel like we had a practice question on tort liability that was similar. It seems like the best fit for this situation since it involves harm caused by negligence.

I think this is about using Differentiated Services, right? It allows for multiple classes of traffic.
