Asterisk 'participates' in the qos process by allowing you to set TOS bits in the IP header. For example: In sip.conf tos=0x18 ;sets ip tos bits lowdelay & throughput In iax.conf tos=lowdelay However, its up to your infrastructure equipment (eg, routers & switches) to prioritize packets received, and send those on to the next hop following the objectives that you program into those devices. Not all devices support qos however. When using Internet connections, you can control qos for packets leaving your site, however you normally can't control how your ISP (and their providers) handle it (if at all) for incoming packets. Some ISPs are actually doing some qos, but most are not. There is no logic built into asterisk that would support a decision making process of chosing one path verses another based on past quality, etc. Rich _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
