TOS values - differences/significance?
Curious about the TOS= value under the [general] stanza in the iax.conf file. Default appears to be 0x1E. Various (inconsistent) how-to indicate 0xBC. Some reference to the values indicate: 10 = low delay08 = high throughput04 = high reliability02 = ECT bit01 = CE bit or it could be word values: lowdelaythroughputreliabilitymincostnone What realistic, effective difference do these values make? Any conflicts with one node having 'some' values set and another having different values? Should we all just get along on ONE set of values?

It will only set the IP DSCP bits in the packets, it makes no difference to asterisk. This will only matter if you're on a network that has QoS policies running. Once a packet hits an ISP the DSCP gets stripped off, so it only matters inside your network. 99.9% of all users will see no benefit to this setting. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net
