2.18 QoS
This group of settings lets you configure the quality of service you offer, if applicable.
There are two types of services. The service to use depends on what your VoIP service provider supports:
• GQoS, which is available for audio and video.
• DSCP (also known as ToS), which is available for audio, video and signaling.
In a network that has the default configuration, the recommended value for audio is 46, because “46” is the
standard marking for audio.
Bria supports 802.1p QoS packet tagging. If you set up for QoS, Bria 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.
2.19 Resources
This group of settings lets you configure storage for the contact list, buddy list (presence information) and
privacy list. (Presence and privacy are not supported in Bria for Linux.)
Storage information for the contact list is separate from storage information for the buddy list and privacy lists.
The settings for storing the contact list are in the “Resources - Global Contact List” topic in the, while the
settings for the buddy list and privacy list are in the “Resources - Individual Accounts” Bria Settings reference
documentation.
Typically the contact list is stored locally. Bria for Windows also includes support for MicroSoft Outlook®
integration. Typically, you do not configure Bria to use Outlook. Instead, you set storage to local and then let
users choose to switch to use their Microsoft Outlook contacts.
The buddy list and privacy list are stored differently, depending on whether presence is being done over a SIP
account or XMPP account:
• SIP account: the lists are also typically stored locally.
• XMPP account: the lists are always stored on the XMPP server.
However, it is possible to store these resources remotely using WebDAV or XCAP, see the “Configuring for
Remote Storage of Resources” manual.
If you support both local and remote storage, Bria continually synchronizes the local and remote lists.
2.20 Shortcut Keys
Bria for Windows supports shortcut keys for several functions. Default key combinations are defined, but you
can change these definitions, if desired.
