Yes, this question has been asked a lot. However, mine is slightly different.
I know my sip providers ip ranges for RTP and Voip. So I was thinking:
How well would this work in practice?
Just add port (SIP port) priority
If ur Internet connection is very very good and u always have spear of Internet u dont have to add noting
Slow, congested connection for this customer. So I need it.
Read my guide (work in progress).
Your guide looks good, but it’s a bit much for what I’m wanting to achieve. When would you mark connections over packet?
Also, If I create a default queue of 10m/10m at priority 8, then a sub queue with 2m/2m with priority 1 which has the marked sip traffic, would that work?
You should mark connections if those connections are somewhat long running, say over a minute, and there are several of them in parallel. Imagine you have several phone calls going on, you can guess the CPU usage from stamping every single packet for 5 active calls.
When it comes to queue creation, I’m still learning. But basically put marked VoIP connections in a queue that will never actually be limited. Don’t put HTTP traffic in that same queue for example. Then make another queue for packets you know will most likely exceed your bandwidth. I don’t yet understand the concept of priority. Priority does not prevent packets from dropping, which you must never do with VoIP.
Yep. Sounds like what I’m doing.
I’m just trying to sus out these queues.
