In our case, we try to keep things as simple as possible in a fairly complex environment. Thus, whenever we can, we try to set our DSCP/ToS bits in a way that will be handled properly by the default Linux queueing mechanism.
I'm afraid I'm up to my eyeballs in a project right now but I have posted some of our work in earlier posts on this mailing list. In the case of Asterisk, we use b0 instead of b8 (expedited forwarding) for RTP traffic because it works better with the default pfifo_fast packet scheduler. We've also ensured the packet handling is consistent from end to end as much as possible. Even though we are using the Internet as a transport medium, we're very happy so far with the quality of the calls. See the previous posts for more details. Hope this helps - John -- John A.
