VOIP Challenges...

["Some Clown" <systemic@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings -

 

I'm new to QoS, so please be gentle (and yes, I've RTFM, though I don't understand every bit of it)

 

Here's the thing; I've tried several scripts--simple and complex--for classifying my Vonage traffic into a high-priority queue, but no matter what I do it doesn't seem to work.  Right now I'm using the HTB script I'll include below, which is a mashing together of several scripts I've found along with a lot of the LARTC HOWTO stuff.  Bottom line; if I load up my *outbound* connection and then try to make a Vonage call, my voice is so chopped up at the other end that noone can understand me.

 

If it makes a difference, I *am* getting a few errors when I run this script, but I'm a relative newbie to QoS so I'm not sure where my errors lie.  I also thought that I might be having trouble with my MARKs in IPTABLES, so I tossed in a line to filter based on IP DST/SRC instead of relying on the marks (in a different, working IPTABLES script).

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.
