We're running 1.6.1.6 and it appears to be working just fine. Here are the pertinent lines from our sip.conf:
tos_audio=0xb0 ; b8 (expedited forwarding) confuses the Linux pfifo_fast so b0 works better for us tos_sip=0xb0 The comment is also important in light of the iptables rules you have. As someone else pointed out, you shouldn't need both. I prefer to set them in the application. For example, if I ever change ports for whatever reason, I won't have the problem of forgetting to also change my iptables rules. Now, I may be wrong about this so I wouldn't mind feedback from someone who know better than I do, but I think expedited forwarding (ef = 184 = b8) can shoot you in the foot in Linux. If you don't change the default packet queueing from pfifo-fast, I believe it will not look at the DSCP bits but rather the ToS bits and will place ef packets into band1 (normal priority) rather than band0 (high priority). That's why we use b0 instead and then tell our DSCP enabled switches to place the resultant DSCP values into the highest priority queue. Hope that makes sense. If I'm wrong, please, someone call me out on it. Thanks - John -- John A.
