 \subsubsection{Introduction}
 
-Asterisk support different QoS settings on application level on various protocol
-on any of signaling and media. Type of Service (TOS) byte can be set on
-outgoing IP packets for various protocols. The TOS byte is used by the network
-to provide some level of Quality of Service (QoS) even if the network is
-congested with other traffic.
+Asterisk supports different QoS settings at the application level for various

+set on outgoing IP packets for various protocols. The TOS byte is used by the
+network to provide some level of Quality of Service (QoS) even if the network

+Asterisk running on Linux can also set 802.1p CoS marks in VLAN packets for the 
+VoIP protocols it uses. This is useful when working in a switched environment.
+In fact Asterisk only set priority for Linux socket. For mapping this priority
 and VLAN CoS mark you need to use this command:
 
 \begin{verbatim}

 \end{verbatim}
 
-In table behind shown all voice channels and other modules of asterisk, that
-support QoS settings for network traffic and type of traffic which can have
-QoS settings.
+The table below shows all VoIP channel drivers and other Asterisk modules that
+support QoS settings for network traffic. It also shows the type(s) of
+traffic for which each module can support setting QoS settings.

 \subsubsection{IP TOS values}
-
 The allowable values for any of the tos* parameters are: 
 CS0, CS1, CS2, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CS7, AF11, AF12, AF13, AF21, AF22, AF23, 
 AF31, AF32, AF33, AF41, AF42, AF43 and ef (expedited forwarding),
 
 The tos* parameters also take numeric values.
 
-Note, that on Linux system you can use ef value in case your asterisk is running
-from a user other then root only when you have compiled asterisk with libcap.
+Note that on a Linux system, Asterisk must be compiled with libcap in order to
+use the ef tos setting if Asterisk is not run as root.
 
-The lowdelay, throughput, reliability, mincost, and none values are removed
+The lowdelay, throughput, reliability, mincost, and none values have been removed

 \subsubsection{802.1p CoS values}
 
-As far as 802.1p uses 3 bites from VLAN header, there are parameter can take
-integer values from 0 to 7.
