The firewall settings described here depend on the following:
- The Diff-Serv flag generated by the VoIP application (generally EF)
- Which codec is used, as this determines the guaranteed bandwidth (compressed or uncompressed)
- The ports (usually port 5060 for SIP signaling)
In order for the QoS to work properly, it is important that the bandwidth values made available by the provider are specified on the Internet connection, otherwise the mechanism has no reference values! |
