[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-24866) Separate QoS settings for trunk and other packets

[Y Ateya (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24866?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Y Ateya updated ASTERISK-24866:
-------------------------------

    Description: 
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.

I have working patch for this feature, will attach it.

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.
