Hi jelv,

The fix for that went in on Wednesday morning, has it made any difference?

Strange. Just checked using Wireshark and Telephone (SIP application) on my Mac and incoming UDP/RTP packets are correctly marked 0xa0 for me.

Don't bother trying X-lite because that is what I am using and I'm seeing the traffic in the bronze (0x00) queue. At times the call quality is terrible.

Is that the same bronze queue that should run just as well as other queues when the line is not saturated?

You've made a very basic wrong assumption that I'm on unlimited.

This is the bronze queue that gets slowed down when the system is busy with a lot of other users downloading.

It was a question, not an assumption. smile

I know some legacy packages have rate limiting. But as far as traffic priority goes, isn't bronze meant to be bronze, legacy package or not?

It's only failing to identify the traffic for some VoIP clients.

That's why I said it's strange. The OP tried X-Lite and the traffic showed up as titanium for him.

The only traffic that should be classified as bronze, according to Plusnet's latest traffic prioritisation scheme, is p2p/usenet (or are there still different priority schemes applied to legacy products?).

I'm just wondering how VoIP traffic is identified and classified... It can't be based on port number (lots of different ports used for RTP). It can't be based on DPI identifying an RTP stream, since other streaming traffic types are supposed to be classified as Gold. So I'm wondering if it's based on looking for the SIP transactions that set up the RTP stream...? Are you, by any chance, using a non-standard SIP port (ie not 5060)?

Perhaps one of the Plusnet reps could explain how it's supposed to work?

This is something I've asked Plusnet about and have an open ticket. They don't want to talk to me! frown

Perhaps the fix they issued on Wednesday has fixed this issue. My Gigaset now moved to the new ports is continuing to perform ok.
