----------------------------------

             Summary: Separate QoS settings for trunk and other packets
                 Key: ASTERISK-24866
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24866
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: None
          Components: Channels/chan_iax2
    Affects Versions: 13.2.0
            Reporter: Y Ateya


Asterisk provides a way to set tos and cos fields in IP headers. But as stated in documentation:

=======
Since IAX connections combine signalling, audio, and video into one UDP
stream, it is not possible to set the TOS separately for the different
types of traffic
=======

So the packet priority is assigned to all packets sent from IAX socket; Which minimizes the benefit of having packet priority.

If there are separate settings for trunk packets only, users can increase
priority of signaling only; to ensure that control packets -only- get better chance
than other packets.
