By default it gives small packets priority (since they are most likely some sort of interactive session like telnet etc, SIP gets priority by coincidentally sending a small packet every 20ms) so it helps my VOIP connection immensely but some other protocol could come along and hurt things. I have tried to hack it to make packets to my Asterisk box&#8217;s IP have priority but the results were inconclusive since I still occasionally got dropped packets but they could have been dropped somewhere inside my hubbed network.</p> Fri, 04 Jun 2004 17:50:55 -0700 urn:uuid:f79e8e396c61667ddc6c06252447fc77 http://scottstuff.net/blog/2004/03/28/asterisk-is-nearing-completion#comment-578 <p>Did you ever get WonderShaped tuned?

This is more difficult, because you can&#8217;t control what they send you, you can just drop packets, to make the other end slow down (thinking you are saturated)</p> <p>I have a Linksys WRT54G. It&#8217;s a wireless wan router. I flashed it with Sveasoft&#8217;s Alchemy firmware, which implements QoS (both outgoing and incoming). It&#8217;s easy to set up, and it works great.. I can have eMule and bitTorrent working all time, and don&#8217;t get any dropped packet&#8230;. Well, maybe 1 or 2 at the start of the call until the incoming traffic slows down due to dropped tcp packets&#8230;</p> <p>I hope this helps&#8230;</p> <p>Julian J.
