View source for Howto:Set Type of Service (ToS) DiffServ DSCP Values for innovaphone Windows Applications (SoftwarePhone, myPBX Video)

==Applies To==
This information applies to all innovaphone Windows Applications sending the RTP Data (this is currently the SoftwarePhone (audio) and the myPBX launcher (video))

==More Information==

===Problem Details===

In contrast to the innovaphone devices, that allows you to [[Reference9:IP4/General/Settings|specify the IP v4 TOS header field value]] used for voice and signalling IP packets, the MS Windows based applications like SoftwarePhone and myPBX do not have any possibility to set ToS Values on the RTP packets due restriction of the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Instead to set the ToS Value in the Application the [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd919203%28WS.10%29.aspx Policy-based Quality of Service (QoS)] provided by the MS Windows operating system can be used to mark the IP packets.

Usually the configuration of the Policy-based Quality of Service is done by defining a [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831689.aspx Group Policy Object (GPO) in the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)]. This could be done for a single computer or distributed to a number of computers via the domain controller.

In the Windows 8 and Server 2012 it is possible to use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/powershell.aspx PowerShell] to configure the values with the [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh967471.aspx Set-NetQosPolicy] Cmdlet.

The DSCP Values in the above example are default DSCP values used by innovaphone devices, according to the Wiki article [[Howto:Calculate Values for Type of Service %28ToS%29 from DiffServ or DSCP Values]]. You may change this values to meet requirements on your traffic prioritisation and routing equipment.

The GPO is stored on the local computer in the registry. The following registry export file could be used to setup QoS Values on the local computer:
