Options – Advanced – Quality of Service
The Quality of Service pane lets you request a specific transport service for audio, video and signaling
traffic.This service is through DSCP (also known as ToS). In a network that has the default configuration, the
recommended value for audio is 46, because “46” is the standard marking for audio.
eyeBeam supports 802.1p QoS packet tagging. If you set up for QoS, eyeBeam will include the specified
information in the packets that it sends to the network provider. Whether the packet is delivered with the
specified service depends on whether your broadband router and the network provider between you and the
other party supports multiple transport services. In other words, whether each network provider reads the QoS
information and prioritizes packet delivery based on the requested service.
