Well, yes, I have set these options.  I am under the impression that asterisk 
is using default values when these options are not set, but the wiki doesn't 
say.  Do I need to create a VLAN interface?

I have also installed libcap and recompiled, and I don't know how to tell if 
it's actually used or not.  I tried with selinux set to permissive to no 
avail.  I could run asterisk as root and see if the values get set, but that 
might change ownership on files asterisk creates and could cause trouble 
later.

Asterisk even says on the console "  == Using SIP RTP Audio CoS mark 5".  I 
can see that packets from phones are marked and the ones from asterisk are 
not.


[xxx]
type = wizard
accepts_auth = yes
accepts_registrations = yes
endpoint/cos_audio = 5
endpoint/cos_video = 4
[...]


[transport-tls]
type=transport
protocol=tls
bind=0.0.0.0:5061
cos=3
[...]


I never checked this, and now it's time that I want to know for sure and set 
it up like it's supposed to be.  It's silly to have traffic control in place 
when the packets are not marked so it doesn't work to begin with.
