I think you are at an advantage if you have studied fancy com-sci for
this? Here is an example:

say you have 5 constraints: 
qos1 with a value of 10
qos2 with 5
qos3 with 10
qos4 with 11

Now, you hash that list by the qos-values:

11    ---- 10 	----- 5 
|	   |  	      |
qos4	   qos3       qos2
	   |
	   qos1


To compute the maximum you just walk the "----" list.

To reduce qos4 from 11 to 5 you remove it from its "|" list and
prepend it to the corresponding "|" list.  (4 Pointer adjustments +
searching the "-----" list for the right place to insert.  

result:

10 ---- 5

qos3	qos4

qos1	qos2
