[Freeswitch-users] advise to troubleshoot a call

There is a nice lua-gui-plugin for qos on openwrt. It is layer-7 based. You
just select sip (not sure for rtp) and you can perform qos. I use it for
sip at home. No problems up till now. Another way could be use the linux
sip-conntrack, but I'm not sure completely how this would work without
looking at it. It would be a related port (rtp) and you would need to use
the -j DSCP-option in the output-mangle-table (-t mangle).

Anyway, the easiest and quickest solution is to install the qos-gui-plugin
for openwrt. Very easy ...
