Summary:                    log complaining about tos setting
Description: 
If you set tos = ef in iax.conf then the log (full) says tos cannot be set
to 184, ee actual entries below:

[Oct  2 18:08:34] VERBOSE[18529] logger.c:   == Using TOS bits 184
[Oct  2 18:08:34] WARNING[18529] netsock.c: Unable to set TOS to 184

If you set tos = af41 then "Using TOS bits 136" is shown in the log.
Something is wrong with using ef although it is the recommended value. I
have yet to check to see if the packets are being marked correctly.

This will happen when your not running asterisk as root.
There was mention of a change that could be made to allow your 'asterisk'
user to mark packets as EF.
Linux will reserve the right to mark packets with EF to only root
