Options – Advanced – Quality of Service

The Quality of Service pane lets users request a specific transport service for audio, video and signaling traffic.
There are two types of services: the proper service depends on what a user’s 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 addition, when running X-Lite within Windows

on an Intel

Centrino

®

Duo mobile-technology-based

laptop, users can request reserved bandwidth for audio traffic on 802.11e wireless networks. If available when
the user places a call, X-Lite will reserve bandwidth for the call (which may lead to improved audio quality).

Some versions of Windows

restrict the services that users can access:
