My main desktop that runs ubuntu is my router. It also runs asterisk. When I get or make a call in asterisk, I have the dial plan run a tc script that caps all traffic but voip to a level that leaves at least 100K for in and 100K for out. When I hang up the dial plan runs the script runs again with a different option that uncaps the connection back to wide open. When I tried just using qos I found that I still had jitter, especially for out going traffic.
