[cisco-voip] QoS and Microsoft OCS

In Server 2008/Windows 7 QoS is really easy, and could be applied as part of a larger organizational group policy as well.  It’s very granular, you can picks apps/ports/source/destination, etc.  I just did it for the Dialogic Brooktrout SR140/T.38/FoIP.
You must be logged on as an administrator or belong to the Administrators group to complete this procedure.
To change any of these QoS settings:

 1.  Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, click Run as administrator, click Continue, type gpedit, and then press ENTER.
 2.  In Group Policy Management Editor, click Local Computer Policy, click Windows Settings, right-click Policy-based QoS, right-click the policy you want to edit, and then click Edit existing policy.
 3.  Change the QoS policy settings to meet the minimum requirements.

You will need to manually enable the tagging on the client/server OS.

It’s somewhere in group policy under network, tried once long time ago on a WIN XP desktop and it does works. After that, it’s up to the customer to apply the policy on the whole domain.

Not the answer, just a rant...

OCS 2007 R2 and earlier are unable to mark at the client. OCS 2010, aka Wave 14 will do this naively AFAIK but they may make the SIP signaling CS4 rather than CS3, RTAudio will be EF. So all that "you don't need QoS" statements from MSFT sales people will change as soon as that is released. Just like they call their implementation of QoS healing QoE.

Just wondering if anyone has experience setting up QoS on a network in order to accomodate OCS? I would like to ensure that the OCS packets are tagged and prioritized according to the organization's QoS policy and wondering what ports, etc... I should look for in order to identify OCS traffic.

Thanks!!
