Thanks for the reply, Still there must be a way to prioritize (or block) skype traffic. In my scenario just because of the small uplink bandwidth I need to give it priority. I tried a packet capture on my pc and random ports were used. But maybe I can give priority to traffic destined to Level 3 communications... if I can define any prefixes on that...
Can I download (from anywhere) skype nbar pdlm to give a shot? I cannot find it.

The majority of Skype traffic is sent now encrypted over port 443. The only way I know to monitor/block it is with something like bluecoat/websense, and then only at the point of origin (since you have to proxy the ssl traffic at the source). I'd be happy to be proved wrong, but I believe, at least for now, that Skype has won the war. ---- Matthew Huff | One Manhattanville Rd OTA Management LLC | Purchase, NY 10577 http://www.ox.com | Phone: 914-460-4039 aim: matthewbhuff | Fax: 914-460-4139 > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:cisco-nsp- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Giorgos Manousakis > Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 3:28 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [c-nsp] QoS for skype with nbar on 837 with 12.3(11)YZ2 > > Dear All, > > i am trying to apply QoS on my aDsl interface (2048/256) and i need to > give > strict priority to voice traffic, including skype and g711. > > I suppose that i can match the g711 by using nbar rtp audio protocol or > by > using source ports that are know on my asterisk server. > > Because of randomness of skype protocol that kind of handling does not > apply. > I found that skype is included in nbar but only after 12.4 version. > Unfortunately i cannot upgrade the ios of my 837 cause of lack of DRAM, > which is not upgradable. > So i tried to find a pdlm addon for skype, but it is not available for > stand > alone download (http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/pdlm). > > Can i found anywhere a skype.pdlm file?
