I agree with polyglot "to best effect" improves the "sentence".
Alain Marsol (asker) May 29, 2013:
J'ai acquis l'impression que l'auteur du texte n'est pas anglopone.
polyglot45 May 29, 2013:
expression bizarre ils voulaient peut-être dire "at/to best effect" ????? - les auteurs sont de quelle nationalité ? (anglophone ou non ?)
Tony M May 29, 2013:
Not sure, but... I'm no expert in this field, but I wondered if this is something to do with the equivalent of those FR expressions 'obligation de moyens / de résultats'? 'best effort' sounds like an 'obligation de moyens' to me.

avec la qualité de service (la prestation) la meilleure possible

Exemple des télécoms:

Best-effort delivery describes a network service in which the network does not provide any guarantees that data is delivered or that a user is given a guaranteed quality of service level or a certain priority. In a best-effort network all users obtain best-effort service, meaning that they obtain unspecified variable bit rate and delivery time, depending on the current traffic load.

Peer comment(s):

agree Gil Michel : Ca me semble la suggestion la plus complète, au vu de la phrase.
